2017 Private Reserve Papa Paulo Port
Tasting notes
This dessert wine has a complex richness defined by strong black cherry and dark chocolate flavors and aromas. Oak aging adds undertones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. This spectacular wine is an exquisite dessert for all wine lovers and can also be the perfect pairing with fine chocolates.
Grown in the Estate vineyard in Bryan, Texas this wine serves as a cornerstone of Messina Hof history and exemplifies spectacular quality. It was one of the first ports in the world to be produced naturally without brandy fortification. The dark juice of the Lenoir grapes and high natural sweetness at harvest make it ideal for the development of a port-style dessert wine.
