Douro bake

Designation for a "baked" or roasted port wine whose storage and maturation took place under unhygienic conditions. This wine defect can be favoured by storage in the hot Douro Valley (where the port wine originates). Ideal conditions for ageing are found in the cool and humid climate of the Porto suburb of Vila Nova de Gaia. Such deficient wines age faster, turn brown and have a sweetish, caramelised taste.
