Bafarela 17 wines are wines of passion. They are, in themselves, audacious. These wines have an alcohol content of 17% and are only made when the grapes are ripe enough. Above all, they are a telluric interpretation of their place of origin, a part of the Douro where, during grape ripening, the heat is stifling and water scarcity is a constant.
Exam grade:
Taste: Full-bodied, with firm tannins, but softened by the acidity, resulting in a fresh, balanced wine with a crisp finish. Powerful on the palate, it's a wine that you chew on.
Aroma: With an intense aroma of ripe fruit, it shows hints of chocolate and cocoa that blend with violet and stewed fruit.
Consumption: It should be opened slightly before consumption to allow it to breathe and develop optimally. Over time, it may create sediment, requiring decantation.
