Villa Oeiras 10 Anos Vinho Generoso, Carcavelos 500 mL

A rare, red-grape fortified wine produced just west of Lisbon, along the Tagus estuary as it opens out to the Atlantic, the Villa Oeiras Carcavelos Tinto 10-Year Old is thrilling, energetic alternative to the all-too-common 'Big House' 10-Year Tawny Port. This rare Tinto (red grape) expression is notable for its lithe frame, vibrant energy and bright, juicy acidity, with notes of barley sugar, cocoa powder, cola, roasted nuts and baking spices.

This is a rare fortified wine, aged for seven years in wood, made in protected Carcavelos vineyards two miles from the ocean west of Lisbon. With a golden color and plenty of wood and spice flavors, the wine with its richness and link between sweet fruits and drier wood-aged flavors, deserves to be better known
