Quinta de Santa Eufêmia is a Portuguese Port house whose history begins in 1864 when Bernardo Rodrigues de Carvalho acquired vineyards in the Douro and began producing and selling Port wines. His skills and passion have been passed down from generation to generation ever since. Today, Quinta de Santa Eufêmia is in it fourth generation of family leadership.
The 20-Year-Old White Port from Quinta de Santa Eufêmia is a blend of Malvasia Fina, Moscatel Galego Branco, Rabigato and Gouveio. After fermentation in granite lagares and fortification, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for nine months before being transferred to large wooden casks where the it ages for a further 20 years. Deep gold in color with tawny and amber highlights, this fabulous 20-Year-Old White Port is complex, rich and decadent with flavors of caramelized orange, hazelnut, white flowers and apricot marmalade and an incredibly long finish. Enjoy with sweet or savory: foie gras, pâté, orange cake or an upside-down cake.
