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 40 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 40 years.
A very old, refined, and smooth Port, with immense complexity that we define as "aged to perfection."
A deep colour, reflecting the long years of ageing and concentration in cask. Notes of iodine, dried apricot, and roasted aromas. On the palate, it begins very smooth and glyceric, finishing long with a slight tannic impression, the result of ageing in wood.
Over 40 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 immense aromatic complexity and nobility.
