Product details
Quinta do Tua takes its name from the river Tua and is located on the confluence of this tributary with the Douro River. The original section of the vineyard is mostly laid out on a west-facing slope behind the quinta house and is characterised by massive stone terraces where the property’s old, mixed vines are planted. The west-facing aspect concentrates the afternoon sunlight, and some heat is radiated from the metre-wide schist walls even after the sun has gone down, providing for perfect ripening that delivers full, rich wines of great complexity. The vineyard is very low yielding, which is conducive to wines of fabulous concentration and intensity. The wines from Tua are an important component of Graham’s classic Vintage Ports in declared years, and this 2022 is the first time we have made a Vintage Port entirely from the property’s old vines.

Tasting Notes:
Extraordinary concentration and intensity, a wine of incredible depth that gradually reveals layer upon layer of sensory delights. The profusion of aromas ranges from black to red fruits with a hint of mango wrapped in between providing fresh, aromatic vitality. Delicate traces of maple syrup add to the wealth of aromas. Very substantial on the palate, showing compact, ripe black fruit wrapped in peppery tannins that underwrite the impressive structure. A truly transcendental, age worthy wine.
