Abf Very Old Porto 1888

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for Port wine production. Vallado is a historic estate with deep roots in the Douro wine tradition.

This Very Old Porto is typically a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, selected for their aging potential and complexity.

The wine undergoes extended aging in oak casks, often for several decades, allowing oxidative maturation that develops rich, complex flavors and a smooth, velvety texture. The "88 ABF" designation refers to the vintage or a specific batch from the Vallado cellars, emphasizing its age and quality.
