Abafado Licoroso 5 Yr 500ml 2017

Produced in Portugal, Quinta Alorna is a renowned estate known for its traditional fortified wines. The Abafado Licoroso 5 Yr is crafted in the Lisboa wine region, reflecting the heritage and terroir of this historic area.

This licoroso is a fortified wine blend, typically made from indigenous Portuguese grape varieties common to the Lisboa region. The exact grape composition is proprietary to Quinta Alorna.

The Abafado Licoroso 5 Yr undergoes a traditional fortification process where fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirit, preserving natural sugars and enhancing alcohol content. It is then aged for five years in oak casks, allowing complex maturation and development of rich flavors.

• Appearance: Deep amber with golden highlights.
• Aroma: Intense notes of dried fruits, caramel, honey, and subtle oak nuances.
• Palate: Smooth and velvety texture with flavors of figs, nuts, and toffee balanced by a gentle sweetness and a warm, lingering finish.
