Description

This extraordinary old port from 1969 has aged in wood casks until 2019.  The casks are kept under the ideal conditions for a long ageing, where temperatures are kept cool and the cellar with a low light. The wines matured slowly, allowing them to develop very elegant, concentrated and sublime aromas. They become intensely rich and fresh, with great persistence and creating a memorable experience, worth the wait. At Quinta Vale D. Maria Port wines are made in a traditional way, with foot treading in granite lagares. All Ports are produced with the same care and dedication, in order to create the highest quality wines.

The selection of vines was based on knowledge of Port wine production over several generations. Each of the plots, planted with various indigenous varieties and mostly exposed to the South, has ages ranging from 25 to 60 years old. These vineyards allow you to create Port Wines with complexity, depth, aroma and structure, which represent a time and a place.

Tasting Notes

Throughout time, this wine has concentrated nuances of mahogany and amber, with a touch of yellow hints that shine through. With an opulent nose, with honey and butterscotch, scents of dried peaches and plums and a hint of mint and eucalyptus tree. It is sweet and succulent, greatly balanced showing lots of fruit flavors in a well-structured wine. The wine is bright and lasts for a very long time on the palate, marking the finish to a great start.
