This wine is from Portugal, Duriense region, Douro - Porto sub-region. Bin No. 27 is produced primarily from grapes from Fonseca's own quintas in the Cima Corgo-exceptional fruit that results in a wine of high quality and consistency from year to year. In the winery, the newly developed, robotic โPort Toes' technology for treading the grapes allows the winery to maximize the quality of the fruit by imitating the traditional action of human feet and avoiding damage to the bitter grape seeds. Fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirits before all the residual sugar has been fermented, creating a sweet, fortified wine. A ruby-style Porto blended from reserve wines selected for their intense depth of color and fruit character, Bin No. 27 is aged for four years in neutral wood vats before bottling..ย A finely blended Port, this has a bristle of tannins up front, melding their chocolate richness with dried fruit flavors, ending clean and sweet. The wine's lasting spice places it with a savory pumpkin pie.
Splendid nose of dried Mission fig, brown spice, stewed blackberries, brown sugar, dried flowers, and dried flowers. Sweet and luscious on the palate with fig paste and cassis notes that build onto a lasting, dark-fruited, and luxurious finish. - 2017 Ultimate Wine Challenge (Great Value). This sweet wine shows fresh, rich blackberry and cassis aromas. On the palate, it has a well-knit structure, with a velvety, luscious mouthfeel and smooth tannins.. This wine pairs well with strong-flavored hard cheeses--a good farmhouse Cheddar or an aged Gouda would be perfect. It is delicious with desserts made with dark chocolate or berries. Made to be enjoyed immediately, without further aging.ย
