BRIGHT VELVETY BERRY, GENTLE CASSIA & CURRANT
Defining a house’s port style is essential for most port producers, and Vieira de Sousa’s sister-producer duo, Maria and Louisa, have crafted a distinct and distinguished identity for their family’s sweet dessert wines. Sustaining a fresh acidity balances out a classic pronounced sweetness, and the sisters have achieved just that, giving us a subtle and complex combination of tannin, fruit, freshness and restrained sweetness.
Serving Suggestions: Roasted root veggies w/ dijon-balsamic glaze; duck liver pate w/ caramelized shallot & rosemary; all the dark chocolate.
