C. da Silva, Dalva 10 Years Old Tawny Port 6 x 0.75L

In 1933, having just arrived from Brazil, Clemente da Silva realized his lifelong dream, creating an excellent wine house that would lead him to the globalization of his business: C. da Silva – resulting from the abbreviation of his name. A year later he registered the brand Dalva, which results from the contraction “da Silva”. With a simple and very Portuguese sound, success was easy to achieve in different markets.
Looking for an activity in which to invest the capital from his business in Brazil, the young entrepreneur takes advantage of the close collaboration with the company Corrêa Ribeiro e Filhos, founded in 1862, and owned by his wife's family, to build up his initial stocks and give the first steps in the business, with Vintage Ports from 1896, 1912 or 1920 being famous.
Combining centuries-old knowledge and techniques with new technologies and innovation, Dalva's portfolio is unique and distinct, presenting an unparalleled offer of Colheita Port Wines, which include unique and limited editions, the classic Vintage Port Wines, and a range exclusive range of White Port Wines, culminating in the aged and dated Golden White and Dry White collection.

WINEMAKER: José Manuel Sousa Soares.

VINIFICATION
The fermentation process is interrupted at the ideal time, in accordance with the traditional method of producing Port Wine, which includes stopping fermentation through the addition of brandy of wine origin. This 10 Year Old Tawny Port wine originates from batches of different superior quality wines, aged in casks for varying periods, giving rise to a wine with a tawny color, with evolved aromas, presenting a tasting profile of a 10 year old wine.

TASTING NOTES
Wine with an intense tawny color, the nose reveals a bouquet typical of the wood aging process, with notes of dried fruits, honey and spices. Smooth and harmonious on the palate, it is a very balanced wine, with the soft fruit expressing itself together with a silky and enveloping texture.

SERVING
It goes perfectly with egg or nut desserts, such as almond tart, or with medium-intensity cheeses. Serve at a temperature between 12ºC and 16ºC. Consume in moderation.
