Description
With production dating back to 1715, Double Diamond was a firm favourite of Charles Dickens. Today, our 10-year-old blend has often been tasted against other brands and always shows well in any competition. The grapes come from the finest vineyards of the sun-baked upper Douro Valley. Carefully matured in oak casks in the cool, dark lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia, it develops a rich, tawny colour and a smooth, complex taste with hints of apricots and dried fruits.
