    Tasting Notes
    Deep ruby in colour, almost opaque. Aromas of blackcurrant, redcurrant and balsamic are married with spicy notes of pepper and tobacco box, herbaceous nuances and a stony minerality. The palate balances power with elegance, with firm but ripe tannins and a lively acidity that carries the intense and complex flavours onto the lingering finish.

    Ferreira’s historic Quinta do Porto estate is located in the heart of the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro, just downstream from the village of Pinhão. The 27 hectares are on steep hillsides on the north bank of the river with southerly exposure, resulting in Ports with exceptional concentration, weight and structure. The soil in the Douro Valley is made up of schist - a slate-like metamorphic rock that fractures vertically, allowing the vine roots to dig deep to access water and nutrients to sustain them through the hot Douro summers. 22% of the fruit for the 2019 vintage was sourced from a small field blend parcel of over 100-year-old vines. These vines produce very low yields of incredibly concentrated fruit and bring great power and intensity to the blend.

    Serving Tips & Storage When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove sediment. Serve at room temperature on its own or with steak and blue cheese sauce or vintage mature blue cheeses such as stilton Cashel Blue, Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Saint Augur Blue. Vintage port is also good with chocolate - a flattering accompaniment to top quality hand-made chocolates and artisan chocolate bars. Please store on its side in a cool dark space away from heat and light. Drink from 2030-2050+.

    ***97 Points, Gold Medal IWC 2022***
    Intense, opaque and thrilling with floral cherry and blackberry fruits on the nose, leading to a focussed, fresh palate with intense pure fruit and good structure. Such precision and structure.

    ***94 Points- Wine Enthusiast***
    From one of the top Douro quintas, this wine is rich. Packed with black fruits and massive tannins that will allow the wine to age well, it has a strong texture and powerful fruits. Drink from 2030.- Roger Voss, 94 Points, Wine Enthusiast

    ***Silver Medal Decanter 2022 - 93 Points***
    Dense ripe berry fruit aromas; lovely opulent sweet berry fruit flavours backed by really powerful firm tannins and a gripping finish. A long life ahead.
