From: Oporto, Portugal

Varietal: Traditional red varietals like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca

Family owned by the C. da Silva family and established in 1862, Dalva is one of Portugal's best small port houses.

Taste: It has a rich ruby colour with aroma reminiscent of a delicate red berry conserve: raspberries and wild strawberries. It is harmonious and balanced on the palate, with a sweet and attractive fruity after taste. -Jancis Robinson 16 pts

About. C. da Silva, is a traditional Portshipper dating from 1862 with cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. The current name was defined in the first decades of the twentieth century, when Mr. Clemente da Silva received the company through marriage. The Port wines come from their own Quinta in the Douro (Quinta dos Avidagos). Renowned for the high quality Tawny (Aged and Colheita) and the very good price-quality ratio. Female winemaker Ana Doro Beiroco has been guarding the elegant house style for 25 years.

The Port wines of C. da Silva are the result of careful monitoring of quality during their aging process by the most respected winemakers in technologically advanced laboratories.

DALVA’s Port comes from traditional grape varieties of the demarcated region of the Douro, such as the Tinta Barroca, the Tinta Cão, the Touriga Nacional, the Tinta Roriz and the Touriga Francesa. The port is produced in the traditional way and is stored in oak barrels to mature. -Port Exclusive
