DESCRIPTION
The Quinta's vineyards have a long-recognized history of producing wine, dating back to the 19th century. This is the conclusion drawn from books specializing in types of strains and from some of the abandoned terraces, known as "mortoriums". At the beginning of the 1970s, the company changed from a sole proprietorship into a limited liability company under the name - Sociedade Agrícola Barros S.A..
In May 1998, the company changed its name to VALLEGRE -Vinhos do Porto, S.A., resulting from the merging of the names of two of its most important Quintas - Valle Longo and Vista Alegre - but retaining its markedly family nature that spans five generations.
Thus, VALLEGRE is a private, family-based, modern, entrepreneurial and dynamic company. Creativity, Innovation, Quality, Customer Satisfaction´s Principles, Well-being of employees and Respect for the Environment, are laid down in the Mission, Vision and Values of the Company.
The production of DOC (Controlled/Protected Denomination of Origin) wines continues to be its primary aim: DO Porto, DO Douro and DO Moscatel Douro of the highest quality which are nationally and internationally renowned. Nowadays, the wines are sold and enjoyed in over twenty seven countries and the countless prizes and distinctions achieved in several international competitions prove the excellence of our quality.

VINIFICATION
Winemaking according to the traditional "Moscatel do Douro" method, produced in this region. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperature and it is stopped by the addition of wine spirit. The entire winemaking process, which is monitored by the oenology team, takes into account the grape variety, the degree of ripeness and the desired sweetness. This wine is the result of a selection and combination of Douro Moscatel wines, aged in oak casks for a period of more than 10 years.

TASTING NOTES
Spicy, nutty and excellent palate wine with burnt sugar and hints of bitter orange under a nose of almond, apricot, fig and tangerine.

SERVING
It is a wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, and goes well with dried fruits and nuts, olives, some types of smoked meats and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent accompaniment for sweet desserts such as French pudding, passion fruit and tropical fruit tarts. Serve chilled, at a temperature between 10°C and 12°C.
