NV 20 Year Old Tawny Port, Conceito
Duoro, Portugal
Conceito Vinhos is a standout estate in Portugal’s Douro Valley, based in the remote, high-altitude subregion of the Douro Superior. Founded by Carla Ferreira and today guided by acclaimed winemaker Rita Marques, Conceito blends deep regional heritage with a contemporary, terroir-focused approach. The estate’s vineyards, many of them century-old and organically farmed, sit on granite and schist soils at elevations that deliver naturally fresh, vibrant fruit.
The 20-Year-Old Tawny Port is a superb example of the estate’s refined approach to tradition. Crafted from a blend of field-grown, old-vine varieties, this Tawny is aged in small oak barrels over two decades in the Conceito cellars, developing the rich complexity and silken texture that defines great aged Port.
In the glass, it reveals a brilliant amber-gold hue, with a nose that is both intense and graceful: aromas of dried fig, toasted almond, orange peel, and caramelised sugar intertwine with layers of spice, cedar, and vanilla bean. The palate is velvety and concentrated, with beautifully integrated sweetness and notes of toffee, roasted nuts, and golden raisin, lifted by a subtle fresh acidity that brings clarity and balance. The finish is long, warming, and resonant, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and depth.
Whats in the bottle

Conceito Vinhos is one of Portugal’s most innovative and terroir-driven wine projects, based in the rugged, high-altitude vineyards of the Douro Superior. Founded by Carla Ferreira and led by her daughter, the talented and internationally respected winemaker Rita Marques, Conceito brings a modern, independent spirit to a region deeply rooted in tradition. The name “Conceito” means “concept” in Portuguese—a reflection of the estate’s mission to create wines with identity, precision, and a true sense of place.
Farming organically across over 83 hectares of vineyards, Conceito focuses on indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, with a mix of very old vines and carefully selected new plantings. The vineyards, planted on a mix of granite and schist soils at elevations up to 600 meters, benefit from cooler temperatures and wide diurnal shifts, resulting in wines of freshness, elegance, and aromatic purity.
Rita Marques, a trained enologist with experience in Bordeaux, South Africa, and New Zealand, brings a global outlook and exacting standards to every bottle. Whether crafting Douro reds and whites, mineral-driven wines from the Vinho Verde region, or refined Ports, Conceito is known for its low-intervention approach, native yeast fermentations, and careful oak usage.
From flagship field blends and old-vine bottlings to vibrant white Port and modern sparkling wines, Conceito represents the new face of Portuguese wine, bold in vision, respectful of heritage, and uncompromising in quality.
