2018 LBV Port, Quinta do Vallado Wine Republic

2018 LBV Port, Quinta do Vallado

Duoro, Portugal

An elegant Port with ample aromas of black fruits, cassis and black cherry enveloped by a delicious spicy feel. The black fruit flavours of cherry carry through onto the palate, supported by soft, mature tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

The vines are planted at altitudes ranging between 80 and 400 metres on south and west-facing slopes, which maximise exposure to the sun, assisting the ripening potential of the grapes. The landscape is characterised by the terraces that make up the vineyards. The soils are made up of schist, a slate-like metamorphic rock which is rich in nutrients and also offers useful water retention properties.

This wine is made from a field blend of old vines, the predominant varieties are: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca.

Quinta do Vallado was established in 1716 and is one of the oldest and most famous estates in the Douro Valley. It is located on the banks of the River Corgo, a tributary of the River Douro, near the town of Peso da Régua. It was once the property of the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains in the possession of her descendants João and Fransicsco to this day. For nearly 200 years, Quinta do Vallado produced fine Port marketed by the family business Casa Ferreira. During the early 1990s, Quinta do Vallado diversified and alongside their top-quality single estate Ports, it started producing dry red, white and rosé wines under its own brand. Simultaneously, the team began restructuring the vineyards, planting single varietal plots, breaking the tradition of multiple varieties being co-planted. Today, the Quinta has 10 hectares of old, low yielding vines planted between 1920s and 1950s, 55 hectares planted during the 1990s and following the acquisition of Quinta do Orgal in Douro Superior, 35 hectares of organic vineyard.

Traditional fermentation took place using Quinta do Vallado inoculated yeasts. Vinification took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Once the desired level of Baumé was reached, the grape brandy, known as the 'Benefit' was added, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. The wine spent four years maturing in stainless steel tanks, before being bottled.
