Description

The 1994 Quinta do Passadouro is a superb example of a high-quality Vintage Port from an excellent vintage.

Tasting Notes
Sweet, with a balanced structure due to firm tannins and good acidity. Its full-bodied palate features ripe black fruits, dark chocolate, figs, coffee, spices, cloves, cinnamon, licorice, and earthy undertones. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, providing structure and longevity. The acidity is well-balanced, complementing the sweetness and richness. The finish is long and persistent.

Serving & Food Pairing
Vintage Ports are best decanted and served slightly below modern room temperature: 16° to 18° C. This vintage Port pairs wonderfully with rich desserts such as chocolate cake or dark chocolate truffles. It can also be enjoyed with strong cheeses, particularly blue cheeses, or simply savoured on its own as a contemplative after-dinner drink.

Quinta Do Passadouro is a renowned winery in Portugal's Douro Valley, known for its Port wines. The estate, located in the Cima Corgo sub-region, has a rich history of viticulture and winemaking dating back to the 18th century. The estate's vineyards, planted at various altitudes, offer a diverse range of grape varieties. Quinta do Passadouro emphasizes sustainable practices, using organic farming and minimal intervention. Its winemaking philosophy is rooted in respect for the Douro Valley's terroir and traditions, resulting in wines that reflect the region's unique characteristics.

How to store your Vintage Port
Vintage Port, like all fine wines, prefers to remain undisturbed, lying on its side in a dark and at least slightly humid place at a stable temperature of between 10°C and 14°C to mature properly.
