The 10 Year Old Port from Quinta das Carvalhas is one of the remarkable wines from the estate’s aged Port range.

Wine Profile

Mahogany in colour with reddish hues. A complex nose, showing developed fruit alongside notes of cherry liqueur, spices, dried fruits, and vanilla. On the palate, it is vibrant and layered. Despite evident ageing, the energy of the fruit still stands out and dominates the tasting experience.

AGEING AND BLENDING

The ageing process of the Ports from Quinta das Carvalhas is strongly influenced by the estate’s unique terroir. Typical of a 10 Year Old Port, the youthful and fruity character gradually fades, giving way to subtle tertiary notes where hints of spices, dried fruits, raisins, and delicate touches of vanilla emerge.

However, these wines retain the freshness and elegance provided by the estate’s north-facing vineyards — one of Quinta das Carvalhas’ key features — which lend great aromatic intensity and acidity. At this stage, the experience and knowledge of the Master Blender at Real Companhia Velha become essential in predicting the future evolution of these wines and anticipating the character that each vineyard will contribute to the Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old blend.
