Calvares a blended White, port wine, made from green grapes on selected, younger and aromatic wines. It presents itself with a light and youthful color, aroma of fresh fruit and freshness in a lighter style than, for example, known from the traditional Portuguese-owned houses. The sweetness is also significant, but is balanced by the acids and ends harmoniously in the aftertaste
Description:
Port wine is a fortified wine - i.e. a mulled wine. When making port wine, alcohol is added to the unfinished wine during fermentation, so that the fermentation stops and some sugar therefore remains in the wine. That way you get
the port wine a sweet character.
