Abacela Port 07 375 ml

Our dessert style wine was crafted from five of the traditional Douro wine grapes. This opaque wine has aromas of raspberries, dried cherries, plums, cocoa, and exotic spice. Fine grained tannins create a thick, rich texture and a lengthy finish. Cellar for a decade plus. Pair with baklava or aged peccorino Romano with Clementine jam. - the winery

From the winery: - Abacela's estate Fault Line Vineyards Cox's Rock and Cobblestone Hill are the exclusive source for our Port. Our unique Southern Oregon terroir provides ideal growing conditions for Bastardo and Tinta Roriz, two ancient Portuguese varietals traditionally grown for Port.

We co-ferment whole berries and age the resulting elixir in neutral oak casks to preserve the wine's inherent fruit character.

The aromas include dense and ripe crushed raspberries and blackberries with chocolate, caramel, and savory spice. Balanced acidity gives the wine liveliness and a vibrant texture that blends perfectly with the deep core of fruit and generous, even plump, tannins.

This wine will undoubtedly improve with cellaring for the next five to eight years if allowed. Enjoy this in the company of friends with raspberry and blackberry tarts smothered in maple cream or as its own dessert.
