Its appearance is marked by a wonderful dark purple rim, hints of violet and a beautiful, intense color. The nose is delicate, fine and extremely sophisticated. With floral notes of violet, graphite, licorice and blackberries. The true style and potential of this wine comes through in the perfection of the aromatic binomial and structure; in the balance between volume and elegance, resulting in a spicy finish that is slightly drier than you might expect. This is probably one of the best vintages of the last decade, with such a balanced structure of acidity, sweetness and tannins that it has great potential for bottle ageing. It’s undoubtedly a GREAT vintage!

Vinification: All the components of Vintage Port 2022 were trodden by foot in granite lagares with 100% stalks. The wines were transferred shortly after the harvest and aged in the Douro in barrels over the winter. They were then transferred in March 2023 to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Recommendation: Ports are wines that develop very well in the bottle and should therefore be stored in a cool, dry place where the bottles should be kept lying flat. Serve at a temperature of 17 to 18ºC.
Food pairing: Ideal with Queijo da Serra, Stilton or other blue cheeses. Egg-based desserts and sponge cake.
