The Tawny Ports from Quinta das Carvalhas are the result of a lifetime of expertise in the art of blending, following the estate's unique philosophy and that of Pedro Silva Reis (Master Blender): age with approachability, always in harmony and balance. We seek the character of age, but with elegance and captivating freshness.
The Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Year Old Tawny Port originates from selected plots of old vines at the estate, planted under the "Vinhas Mistas" (mixed vineyard) concept. 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 30 years.
Amber in colour, with brownish hues. The nose presents marked notes of ageing, exotic wood, dried fruits, aromas of crystallised citrus fruit, and walnuts. On the palate, it is very rich, with quince jelly. A dense wine with great persistence.
Over 30 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 wines that endure 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 responsible for this Port's extraordinary aromatic complexity and nobility.
