Why buy Sweet | Fortified Wine Canasta 20 years

This  Canasta 20 years has been made with a select combination of quality grapes of the Blanca, Palomino and Pedro Ximénez varieties. The grapes have been fermented at 25ºC controlled by experts.

Aged in oak, it has undergone the process of oxidation and concentration for a minimum of 20 years, which gives it unique flavours and nuances. As the wine spends this time in oak barrels, the water in the wine is lost in the wood, which gives it more complexity and body, and it certainly leaves no one indifferent!

Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

When we see a glass of  Canasta 20 years, what strikes us is its deep amber colour with captivating copper highlights. On the nose it has an intense aroma reminiscent of toasted sugar, figs, dried fruits such as walnuts and hints of vanilla. It also has a slight hint of tobacco and cedar.

In the mouth it has a sweet character and a high acidity that brings freshness. All in all it makes a great balance that provokes a sensation of elegance when drinking it, accompanied by persistent and pleasant retronasal aromas.

Pairing. How to taste it

Canasta 20 years is ideal to drink on its own after dinner as a dessert, after a meal of red meats, stews, casseroles... We also suggest that you drink it at any time accompanied by blue cheese, cream cheese or nuts, as it will open up your senses and intensify the flavour of these gastronomic delicacies.
