Cálem Wine Cellar  

Cálem Special Reserve Tawny is a carefully crafted Port wine blending multiple vintages, each aged at least 7 years in oak casks. The grapes—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz—are hand-picked from vineyards planted on schistous-sandstone soils, sometimes mixed with granite, at altitudes up to 600 meters. Traditional and modern vine planting techniques are used, including horizontal terraces and vertical planting ("vinha ao alto"). Winemaking involves gentle maceration and controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at 28–30°C until the desired sweetness level (baumé) is reached, when grape brandy is added to fortify the wine. This Tawny Port displays a golden-brown color with aromas of dried fruits, spices, and subtle wood. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, well-structured, and finishes long and elegant.
