Quinta do Vallado Adelaide Tributa Very Old Port Wine

Quinta do Vallado Adelaide Tributa Very Old Port Wine, according to the books of the winery, dates back to 1866, it is unimaginable that a port wine could easily survive a generation! It was allowed to mature and rest for most of its life in two 600 l barrels. After the first tasting, it was decided not to make any "improvement" to the wine, because it was perfect as it was. 1300 numbered bottles of this dream wine have now been released by the winery. The grapes Tina Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Barroca, Touriga Nacional and probably many others were harvested by hand, all from the same vintage and were processed like a typical Tawny Port. In the warehouses it was traditionally stamped with feet, which meant that the mash was gently rolled over. This very special port is gifted with a seductive colour, liquid amber and mahogany come to mind, greenish stripes in the glass betray its age. Its aromas are complex, numerous notes of dried fruits, such as figs, plums and also caramelized nuts emanate from the glass. But also freshness and fruit strike one. Powerful and creamy on the palate, with an uncanny density, perfect harmony and an almost endless length. The bottle comes in a precious wooden box, so that the contents did not have to get used to it. This text has been automatically translated.
