Port Wine is an ex-libris of Portugal. A very unique wine that attracts appreciators all over the world and is a showcase of a terroir of excellence that is the Alto Douro Vinhateiro.
Among the various categories of Port Wine, Vintage Port is the highest exponent of this “nectar” of the gods. This is the only Port that ripens fully in bottle and its consumption must be immediate so as not to lose the fragile aromas in contact with the air.
It is bottled 2 to 3 years after aging in wood and gradually evolves during 10 to 50 years in bottle. This aging removes the influence of air completely resulting in a much slower loss of color and the ability to preserve their typical fruity aromas.

It is the producer who decides which harvest can be declared vintage. Austere in its youth, with an enormous depth of taste and massive structure, capable of evolving for several years. It is a wine produced from grapes of a single year and must be of exceptional quality. It presents a deep color, a solid structure and intensely fruity aromas and flavors.
After the selection, the producer has to take it to the IVDP (Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto) who validates it. If the wine has “exceptional organoleptic characteristics, from a single harvest, “retinto” and full-bodied, […] and has very fine aroma and taste”; (Regulation 242/2010) it is then declared Vintage Port.
It is therefore the ideal wine for anyone who wants a good investment since its value increases as the time goes by. Don’t forget to keep it lying down, always in the same position, in a dark place and preferably with temperatures between 16º and 18ºC.
And when that special time comes to open it, remember to decant it (to eliminate the natural deposit) and to drink it at that exact moment.

To appreciate it in all its fullness, bear in mind that it is an exceptional quality wine, hand-picked, produced according to ancestral techniques and coming from a very special place.
