Quinta da Alorna NV Abafado 5-years Fernão Pires (Vinho Licoroso)

Country: Portugal / Abafado 5-years
Variety: Fernão Pires Vinho Licoroso
Winery: Quinta da Alorna /

The wine has the character of a perfumed Moscatel from Setúbal, but is in fact from Fernão Pires. It has a rich—never heavy—feel to it, flavors of caramel and smokiness from wood aging. Consider this as an apéritif, rather than as a dessert wine.
