Quinta da Alorna Abafado 5 Years - Fortified Wine

Quinta da Alorna Abafado 5 Anos - Fortified Wine is a fortified wine from the Tejo region, produced by Quinta da Alorna. Made from the Fernão Pires grape variety, it has a reddish color with reflections reminiscent of onion skin, immediately revealing its distinct profile and traditional identity.

Its production involves fortifying the must with grape brandy, interrupting fermentation and preserving the natural sweetness of the grapes. This is followed by a 5-year aging process in used oak barrels, which contributes to the aromatic complexity and harmony of the whole. On the nose, notes of honey and dried fruit stand out, with particular emphasis on figs and almonds.

On the palate, it displays a smooth and enveloping texture, elegantly balancing freshness and sweetness. The finish is persistent, marked by the return of dried fruit notes. Versatile at the table, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, digestif, or to accompany sweet desserts such as candied oranges, cream, or pampilho (a type of sweet bread). A distinctive choice for special occasions.
