Product details
Vintage Port is often considered to be the highest category in the world of Port and is especially suited to bottle ageing. Produced from grapes from a single year, it is bottled two to three years after the harvest and gradually ages for several decades in the bottle. One of the great things about Vintage Port is that it is attractive at practically every stage of its evolution in the bottle.

Traditional grape varieties

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
