Alcoholic strength: 21% Maturation: Following the vintage, this Porto Wine remained in the Douro Region until the subsequent spring. In the meantime, the traditional ageing process got underway in oak barrels typical of the Offley style. As it aged for two years under the watchful eye of Offley winemakers, the wine's final blend was created from a meticulous selection of each Porto Wine lot, part of our constant quest for improved quality. In the tradition of Vintage Porto, the Offley Boa Vista Vintage 2011 was bottled in April 2013 without fining or filtration and therefore is likely to throw a deposit and will require decanting
Consumption temperature: 16-18º Harvest year: 2011
Allergens: Sulphites Enólogos: Luís Sottomayor
Tone: Extremely intense in colour. A deep, almost-opaque, dark red Tasting Notes - Aroma: Exceptionally rich aromatically, black forest fruits especially plum, stand out in the nose, with oaky notes of pine and cedar, floral tones of rockrose, hints of "sous bois", and spices such as cloves and nutmeg
Tasting Notes - Palate: On the palate, an excellent body, well-present acidity, lively yet well-integrated tannins and hints of black forest fruits, again plum, but also cherry. An intense and persistent finish Vintage / Winemaking: Gentle crushing and partial de-stemming of the perfectly ripened fruit was followed by a very intense period of maceration with the alcoholic fermentation. To achieve the optimum skin extraction that delivers the colour, flavour, tannin components for a Vintage Porto Wine, the grapes were pressed in the granite lagares at controlled temperatures of 28ºC. During this phase the temperature, fermentation and density of each grape variety, allowing for individual ripeness and sugar levels, were carefully monitored to determine the addition of the aguardente (grape brandy 77%) to arrest fermentation
