Product details
To celebrate a unique date in one of the oldest Quintas do Douro, a special wine was selected. HONORE is a very old tawny Port, over 100 years old, coming from a very small number of casks, from harvests prior to 1918, belonging to Constantino de Almeida's stock and preserved at the Quinta for three generations. For this special HONORE edition, a batch of a limited series of 400 bottles was carefully prepared, the number of years in the history of this Quinta. A unique wine and a fitting symbol of such an important historical milestone.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Amber color loaded with soft olive green tones, it presents on the nose an exceptional complexity and intensity typical of a wine aged in casks for more than 1 century. A very seductive wine where we can easily find aromas of honey, cedar, tobacco leaf and dried fruits. In the mouth it is a true discovery. It starts off very concentrated and evolves elegantly into a wine with several layers, among which a seductive sweetness and very refreshing acidity stand out. A wine of extraordinary persistence that awakens all the senses and where we lose ourselves in a magical and addictive way.

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.
