The Quinta da Furada Late Harvest 2023 is a sweet wine crafted from 100% Boal do Douro (Sémillon) grapes, harvested from the estate's highest vineyards at 400 meters altitude, facing north and northeast. These century-old vines benefit from optimal conditions for the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates sugars and flavors in the grapes. The harvest took place in late November, selecting only the finest botrytized grapes.
 
Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, followed by 24 months of aging in the same vessels, and an additional 6 months of bottle aging. The result is a golden-hued wine with intense aromas of dried fruits, honey, and floral notes. On the palate, it offers a rich and balanced sweetness, with flavors of apricot, fig, and a touch of citrus, leading to a long and elegant finish. This wine is ideal as a dessert companion or to be enjoyed on its own.
