Vintage Porto 6*pk 2019

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for high-quality Port wines. Vallado is a historic estate with a long tradition in Port wine production.

The Vintage Port is typically made from a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

Vallado Vintage Port is produced using traditional methods:

• Hand-harvesting of grapes from old vines in the Douro Valley.
• Fermentation in lagares (granite troughs) with foot treading to extract color and tannins.
• Fortification with grape spirit (aguardente) to stop fermentation and preserve natural sweetness.
• Aging in large oak vats for a short period before bottling to maintain freshness and aging potential.

The Vallado Vintage Port exhibits a deep ruby color with intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by floral notes and hints of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish featuring chocolate and licorice nuances.

Ideal pairings for Vallado Vintage Port include:

• Strong blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort
• Dark chocolate desserts
• Rich meat dishes like game or braised beef
• Nuts and dried fruits for a refined tasting experience
