Product details
Winemaking:
This Vintage Port from Quinta das Carvalhas is produced from a selection of plots of Old Vineyards where a truly surgical harvest is carried out to hand-pick only the grapes that are at the desired levels of ripeness. Through on-site tasting, only perfectly ripe grapes are harvested, repeating the operation throughout the harvest period. Once harvested, they are transported to the winery in small boxes, beginning the ancestral process of foot treading in traditional granite presses, which, due to their shape, allow perfect contact between the must and the skins, allowing greater extraction. Fermentation is interrupted by adding wine brandy, followed by aging in oak vats for a period of 2 years.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby color, with rich and complex aromas of wild berries, plums, black cherries, floral notes, spices and chocolate. Full-bodied, with a dense and velvety texture. The flavor profile is dominated by ripe black fruits, with layers of dark chocolate, licorice and spice. The well-balanced acidity and robust tannins give it a solid structure. It evolves into a long and persistent finish, with a rich aftertaste of fruits and spices.
