Description
The 1938 Quinta das Carvalhas Vintage Port is an exceptional and historic wine that offers a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a rare piece of viticultural history. When Real Companhia Velha (RCV) acquired the Quinta, they uncovered a treasure trove of old bottles in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, including this remarkable 1938 vintage Port.
This release marks the first time that these bottles have been offered to the public, making it a significant event in the world of fine wine. Due to its rarity and age, there are no official tasting notes available, adding to its mystique and allure. The wine represents a snapshot of winemaking history from a bygone era, preserved for decades under ideal conditions.
Given its historical importance and scarcity, this vintage is likely to appeal to serious collectors and those looking to invest in an irreplaceable piece of winemaking heritage. The absence of tasting notes means that each bottle offers a unique experience, allowing the owner to be among the first to truly explore and appreciate this vintage.
Serving and Food Pairing
When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove sediment. Serve at room temperature on its own, with steak or vintage mature blue cheeses or top quality chocolate.
