The Tawny Ports from Quinta das Carvalhas are the result of a lifetime of expertise in the art of blending, following the unique philosophy of the estate and of Pedro Silva Reis (Master Blender): age with approachability, always in harmony and balance. We seek the character that comes with age, but always paired with elegance and captivating freshness.
The Quinta das Carvalhas 20 Year Old Tawny Port originates from selected plots of old vines planted under the traditional "Vinhas Mistas" (mixed vineyard) system. This Port is crafted from a blend of wines from different vintages, rigorously selected and aged in premium oak casks, with an average age of 20 years.
Amber-brown in colour, with aromas marked by raisin, dried fruit, and noble hints of aged oak casks.
Balanced and smooth on the palate, with the grape spirit well integrated, its texture combines delicacy with persistence. The finish is lively, with a subtle touch of dryness and rusticity — a hallmark of the Quinta's distinctive style.
Over 20 years, these Ports — sourced from old vines at Quinta das Carvalhas — are aged in the finest seasoned oak casks, ensuring a magnificent structure and a harmonious bouquet of fine, delicate aromas. These wines embody the authenticity of a region capable of producing Ports that last for decades — even centuries.
At Quinta das Carvalhas, the classic terroir for Port production, combined with the truly unique character of its old vines, is the foundation for a wine of exceptional aromatic complexity and noble character.
