*Pick up orders are available next day for pick up"Quinta do Vale Meão has been producing consistently Single Quinta Ports since 2000. In 2001 we decided to make a second lot with the aim of bottle-aging it in our cellar and bring to the market at full maturity.
VINIFICATION
After crushing, the must is cooled down. In the same evening of the day of the picking, footreading is made in the lagares, for the duration of four hours. Fermentation begins spontaneously and the mechanical crushing is done regularly up until the pressing and addition of selected grape spirit. This Vintage Port aged in wooden barrels and was bottled in 2003.
TASTING NOTE
This Port presents a dark purple color on the center and lighter purple hues on the edge, denoting its aging in bottle. The nose is dominated by bluberry compote and floral notes. In the mid-palate the dark fruit gives way to firm tannins and herbal notes. Very persistent finish." - Quinta do Vale Meão
