Description
The outstanding Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Year Old Tawny Port is exclusively offered to the UK by Vintage Wine and Port.
Hailing from one of the most iconic estates in Portugal's dramatic Douro Valley this exquisite Tawny Port has matured in cask for an average of thirty years.
Tasting Notes
The prolonged maturation has rendered this port seductive aromas of caramelised sugar and dark chocolate mingled with hints of currants. On the palate, rich flavors of dark roast coffee and dark chocolate are followed by notes of roasted walnuts and wood spice. Flavours of dark rum shine through, adding warmth and depth. The finish is long, with flavors of walnut lingering on the palate.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, such as hazelnut praline.

With the maturity of this fine wine has come wisdom without wrinkles. The Port has a velvet texture that just slips by—the dried fruits offer a glimpse through the wine's maturity. Drink this wine now. — Roger Voss
Wine Spectator
"Broad and welcoming in feel, with toasted sesame, warmed pistachio, membrillo and baklava notes rolling through in waves, backed by a long, date-filled finish."
