    • Description

    A limited edition of the Arnozelo Single Quinta 2019 Vintage, with the distinctive character of Burmester. The elegance and aromatic richness of the Touriga Nacional, combined with the concentration and structure of Touriga Franca and the more intense tannins of Tinta Roriz, are the elements of these three grape varieties that make up the blend of this fascinating Vintage Port. “A very elegant, floral and fresh wine”, highlights IWC award winning wine maker Carlos Alves.

    Tasting Notes
    With an intense red hue with violet tints, this wine takes on the Burmester style in a more elegant and fragrant profile where, in addition to the notes of tropical fruit, floral notes, orange blossom nuances, cassis, rosemary, fruits of the forest and plums stand out. A wine of great finesse, with a tense and muscular tannin with light notes of liquorice and fresh fruit. With a long and elegant finish, in the style of Burmester, this wine is the purest expression of the excellence of the Quinta do Arnozelo terroir.

    Serving and Food pairing
    Vintage Ports are best decanted and served slightly below modern room temperature: 16° to 18° C. Pair it with chocolate-rich desserts – such as chocolate fondant with redcurrant coulis or dark chocolate mousse. Goes very well with an intense-flavoured cheeses, like Queijo da Serra, or blue cheeses (Stilton, Roquefort).

    ***92/100 points - The Wine Advocate***

    The 2019 Vintage Port Quinta do Arnozelo, a single-quinta Port, is a 55/35 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, plus a dollop of Tinta Roriz, coming in with 110 grams per liter of residual sugar. This was set for release at the end of July 2021, after bottling on April 19, 2021. I've been hard on Burmester at times, but things are looking up. This is very promising. It's certainly not the most concentrated Porto, but it is bright and fresh and has finesse to spare. The light-and-bright feel is very appealing. This just sparkles, thanks to its good acidity supporting the delicious fruit. It lifts that fruit and makes it all the more enticing. This projects lots of flavor, but there is certainly structure and a backbone. It is firm on the finish. This is admittedly not a powerhouse, but it is still delicious enough and structured enough to win its fair share of fans. The next day, the tannins had moderated to some degree, but it still showed great fruit, freshness and enough tannic pop. It is fair to say that it will be accessible relatively young and then hold a reasonable time. It won't be the best choice to make really old bones, but it will certainly be a lot of fun in the short to mid-term because it is so fresh and so tasty.
