A real rarity, bottled in 2012, unfiltered.

Colour: golden amber with green reflections.
Palate: A complex and intense expression with notes of citrus jam, dried fruit, nutmeg, marzipan and almond blossom.
Sharp entry due to the high acidity that has built up in the barrels over the years of evaporation. The port wine quickly becomes very smooth, balanced by its sweetness and the appearance of dried fruit, grilled nuts and caramel aromas. On the palate it develops into cloves, ground coffee and bitter almonds. The many layers of flavor build into an explosive finish that is taken up by notes of citrus, cinnamon and ginger and is long lasting.

A port wine with huge potential, a great pleasure for special moments and a perfect gift for port wine lovers.

Try it with: dessert, nuts, cheese, foie gras...

The NV 40 Year Old Tawny Port, bottled in 2015, is a field blend with 135 grams per liter of residual sugar. Very fresh, very elegant and relatively young for a 40, this is only moderate in complexity for its age, a little light on those molasses overtones, if you will. However, the youth and nutty nuances are rather glorious in their own right. Alive and delicious, it has an enticingly sweet edge. There are approximately 1,000 bottles produced per year.
October 2016. The Wine Advocate 94/100

Tawny is the color of an owl that lives in the United Kingdom. Their plumage is brown, brick-red in color, and so is port, which ages in oak for some time. That's why we call Tawny Port all port wines that mature in oak wood and develop a nutty, caramel-like profile through slow oxidation. Port wine only acquires its tawny character after some time in the barrel, ie it is not tawny when it is fortified with alcohol, but only after a few years of aging. This type of port wine varies greatly depending on how many years the port wine is aged in casks. Tawny can be as young as five years old and as old as a 40 year old port.

Manufacturer

Although the Quevedo family has been producing port wine for more than 5 generations, the current company was only founded in 1993. This makes us one of the youngest port wine houses on the Douro.

With less than 30 years of existence, we feel like we're still at the beginning of the journey and that every day is a new page that we fill with what we love to do most: explore all the possibilities of enjoying wine.

In the late '70s, Oscar and Beatriz Quevedo decided to start a family in S. João Pesqueira, in the heart of the Douro Valley. Both are descendants of families with a long tradition in viticulture and port wine production.

The first Quevedo vineyards were planted in 1889 by Abel Gouveia Costa in Valongo dos Azeites, in S. João da Pesqueira. Abel was succeeded by his son, Raul Gouveia Costa, who made the business flourish, and then by his son-in-law, João Batista Quevedo, who expanded the vineyards into new operations and passed on the love of winemaking to his son, Oscar Quevedo.

Beatriz's family also had their roots in the Carrazeda district on the north bank of the Douro. The main property of the family was the Quinta da Alegria with the train station of the same name.

After making port in his father's facilities for a number of years, Oscar Sr. built a new winery that is now the Quevedo's headquarters. In the meantime he increased the vineyards to the current 100 hectares and 25 hectares of organic olive cultivation.

In 1993 the Quevedo brand was launched, heralding a new era for the family, who were finally bottling port under their own brand, something only possible since 1986 when Portugal joined the EU.

Growing up surrounded by vineyards and barrels, Cláudia and Oscar Quevedo (Jr.) have followed in their parents' footsteps in the family business.

Cláudia Quevedo graduated in oenology from the University of Vila Real in 1998. Since then she has been making port wines in Quevedo. Cláudia is married to Fernando João Martins and lives near the winery with their children Beatriz and João.

Oscar Quevedo (Jr.), who studied economics in Porto and worked in finance in Switzerland and Spain, joined the family in 2009 after the death of his grandfather. He is responsible for Quevedo sales in more than 40 countries.

He is married to Nadia Adria, who will join the company in 2020 and will be responsible for the Marketing and Tourism department. The couple have three children: Marc, Alba and Miguel.

Quevedo

Seit Generationen besitzt die Familie Quevedo Felder und Weinberge. In den 70ern und 80ern erweiterten sie ihren Betrieb, Quinta da Alegria, und starteten 1991 als eigenständige Marke. Der im Douro-Tal gelegene Betrieb ist immer noch familiengeführt. Die Quevedos verkauften ihre Trauben meist an große Firmen wie Taylor Port, was ihre Qualität unterstreicht. 1975 begann Oscar Sr., selbst Wein zu produzieren, was die Familie schließlich nach San Jõao de Pesqueira führte. 1983 erwarben sie den Weinberg Quinta Vale D'Agodinho, der jetzt ihr Hauptgrundstück ist. Dieses liegt nahe dem Ort, an dem berühmte Portwein-Persönlichkeiten Schiffbruch erlitten, ein Ereignis, das mit der Geschichte von Baron de Forrester und Dona Antónia Ferreira verbunden ist (1861). 1991 begann Quevedo, Weine unter eigenem Namen zu produzieren, und baute eine Weinkellerei. Heute werden mehr als 100 Hektar bewirtschaftet. Als Claudia, Oscars Tochter, 1999 ihren Abschluss als Önologin machte, übernahm sie die Weinherstellung, während Oscar Jr. für das Marketing zuständig ist. Quevedo exportiert nun weltweit.
