A Port with enormous potential, a great pleasure for special moments and a perfect gift for Port lovers.
Excellent with blue cheese (Roquefort or Stilton) and good chocolate.

Color: Dark and opaque ruby red

Aroma: Elegant yet intense aromas of boysenberries, black pepper, cherries and a hint of sandalwood unfold with great intensity and purity.

Palate: In the typically dry style of Quevedo, the wine presents itself with a spicy note at the beginning on the palate. High-quality tannins provide structure, followed by a round, fruity taste experience full of ripe dark plums and violets. The finish is long and intense, characterized by spices and red fruits.

The Quevedo Port wine Vintage 2020 was produced without oak barrel aging and contains only 81 grams of residual sugar.

Bottled in June 2022, it shows an improved integration of its components after about one year in the bottle.

With aeration, the tannins become slightly stronger, but not astringent.

The fruit is subtle but persistent. The next day it presents itself particularly well. Overall, it has a graceful note that suits the elegant style of the winery. A remarkable wine with potential for improvement.

Vintage Port is a Port wine from a single harvest, which is bottled between the second and third year after the harvest. It is always red and of all Port wines the one with the longest aging potential. This long aging potential results from the complex and concentrated grapes used for its production. It is very dark in color, rich in tannins, with a lot of body and structure and intense both in the nose and on the palate. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve all the elements that can support a long aging in the bottle. Dark purple in its youth, the red color becomes lighter over time. However, it takes several decades, if not even a century, for the brown nuances to emerge. The fruit aromas remain throughout the entire lifespan of the Vintage Port. In the initial phase it is fresher, over time more dried fruit aromas emerge. For most Port wine collectors and lovers, the Vintage Port is the most appreciated Port wine. It is produced in small quantities. The annual production rarely exceeds 1% of the total Port wine production. And this is only justified by the fact that we need a combination of factors: excellent weather conditions in the best locations to grow grapes in the Douro. It is not about quantity, but about putting the best of the best in the bottle, so that we or the next generation can enjoy it. In the best harvests, our Vintage Port will contain grapes from the different Quintas, to preserve as much complexity as the best grapes can produce. This was the case, for example, in the years 2005, 2007 or 2011. There are other years in which perfection was not achieved in all vineyards. But if we have obtained grapes in our flagship and most consistent Quinta, Vale d'Agodinho, under perfect conditions and with excellent quality, which in our opinion will result in a wonderful Vintage Port, then we bottle a so-called Single Quinta Vintage Port. This is the case, for example, with the vintages 2008, 2010 or 2013. Drink it young if you want to enjoy the freshness and intensity of the best Port wine, or wait a few years, then you will experience elegance, complexity and harmony in a bottle of Port wine.
