There are only a handful of sweet wines in Ribeiro, the old "tostado" (toasted) produced with grapes that are picked early and left to dehydrate for months in the old winery. The result is a mahogany sweet wine like this 2008 Alma de Reboreda that was produced with Treixadura grapes that had lost 70% of their volume and were very concentrated. It fermented in 225-liter French oak barrels for around 10 months. After it finished fermenting, the wine was transferred to a different barrique, where it matured for no less than five years. It smells of raisin liqueur, with a roasted note, quite sweet but not terribly complex. It has 170 grams of sugar, 14% alcohol and unusually low acidity. A rarity. There were 1,111 375-milliliter bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

The 2007 Alma de Reboreda is the first vino tostado I have encountered from Campante, even though they have been producing it for a while. It is produced exclusively from Treixadura grapes that are left to dehydrate for some three months after being picked. It results in a sweet wine with 175 grams of residual sugar, which is aged in French barrique for no less than 10 months and spends two years in contact with the lees. It has the hazelnut, volatile touch and all the aromatics the best tostados show, intermixed with hints of apricot, marmalade and quince paste. The palate is quite sweet with a finish that reminds me of burnt sugar. With a little more freshness it would be phenomenal. 900 half bottles were filled in March 2015.
