Quinta do Vallado Vintage Port 2019 | Iconic Vintage Port from the Douro Valley

Quinta do Vallado Vintage Port 2019 represents one of the finest expressions of Portugal's Douro Valley. Produced only in outstanding harvest years, this exceptional Port comes from old vineyards in the Rio Torto Valley and is crafted using traditional foot treading in granite lagares. After fermentation, it matures for approximately twenty months in stainless steel before being bottled unfiltered, preserving its remarkable concentration and ageing potential.

The wine displays an almost opaque ruby colour with intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, ripe plum and dark cherry, layered with violet, cocoa, liquorice and delicate sweet spices. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, it combines remarkable fruit concentration with refined tannins, vibrant freshness and superb balance. The finish is exceptionally long, revealing waves of dark fruit, chocolate and spice.

Already impressive in its youth, this Vintage Port will continue to evolve beautifully over the next several decades.
