Dalva Tawny Port
Producer
This company was founded in 1862, under the name Corrêa Ribeiro e Filhos and carried the seal of a long time supplier to the Royal House.
The quality of C. da Silva Wines is internationally recognized and the investment in Premium Ports, with special emphasis on the Colheitas and Aged Whites, making rare jewels of the Port wine trade. Nowadays the Company is firmly established in the five Continents.
The name Dalva comes from Da(sil)va. Easier to say!
The excellence of the wines they produce has been the quest of this company from the very beginning.
In parallel to production and exports, they keep important reserve wines in permanent aging at their cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
A valuable asset of master pieces is constant aging… acclaimed by the most prestigious critics.
Vinification
The Tawny has an aging period between three to five years.
As a result, they gradually mellow to an amber, nutty color, always blended according to the House style.
Tasting Notes
A lovely light reddish colour. Aromas of fresh and dried fruits with hints of vanilla. Very balanced on the palate with an agreable after taste of cherries.
Cellaring: Store upright in a cool dark place. It does not develop significantly in the bottle. May be kept three or four years without losing its fresh- ness.
Serving: Serve slightly chilled, between 12 and 13C, in an appropriate glass, ideally consumed on its own or served with caramel, vanilla or cream desserts.
