About This Release

This Vintage Port comes from the historic Quinta das Carvalhas, whose steep schist terraces rise above the Douro at Pinhao in the heart of Portugal's port country. Declared only in the finest years, vintage port is bottled young and built from old-vine fruit to reward long cellaring. We pour the 2016 for its opulent, structured black fruit and the firm tannins and mineral lift that promise decades of graceful evolution.
