Quinta Vale D. Maria Very Old Tawny Colheita Porto

Description

**Quinta Vale D. Maria** Vale D. Maria has been creating unique wines since its first bottle in 1996. Our vision of the Douro is that every corner of this region has its own character, shaped by variations in climate, landscape and winemaking. This project was born in the hands of Cristiano van Zeller, who, drawing on extensive knowledge passed down through several generations and his own years of experience, immediately recognised the potential of the Quinta Vale D. Maria terroir for producing red wines and Port. We have always regarded each bottling of our Port wines as something special. Continuing this philosophy, we have decided to produce exclusively Old Tawny Colheita Ports. We searched old cellars across the Douro for the last casks of Very Old Colheitas. Over the years, we acquired the final casks of selected vintages, which were carefully preserved, forming our most valuable collection. The time has come to reveal this special collection, beginning with the launch of Vale D. Maria Old Tawny Colheita Port 1969. These exceptional Ports age in Port casks until the date of bottling, with a minimum age of 50 years. The casks are kept in ideal conditions for long-term ageing, with cool temperatures and low cellar light. The wines have matured slowly, developing elegant, concentrated and delicate aromas, becoming intensely rich and fresh, with great persistence. The result is an unforgettable experience, well worth the wait. The wines are bottled to order. The first bottling took place in October 2019. **Awards** 95 Robert Parker Points **Allergen Information** Contains sulphites. SKU: 106538
