Tecedeiras Vintage Porto

Description

Tecedeiras Terroir Bathed for 1.5 km by the waters of the left bank of the Douro River, in the prestigious area of São João da Pesqueira, Quinta das Tecedeiras owes its name to the nuns who once inhabited it and devoted themselves to weaving the linen that was grown here in the past. The soils are schist, with north and west exposure, and the vineyards sit between 90 and 190 metres above sea level. The grapes ripen well, with a great concentration of aromas and flavours. When the vineyards were replanted, care was taken to keep some older plots, whose grapes are judiciously blended into all the Wines, DOC or Port, of Tecedeiras. Vinification Whole-cluster fermentation in granite lagares, with traditional foot treading. Aged in barrel for 2 years. Unfiltered. Vintage Ports are famous as perfect partners for certain types of cheese, particularly "blue" cheeses such as Stilton and Roquefort. Their pairing with dark chocolate is also clear, especially when served with raspberries or other wild red berries. This Vintage "Single Quinta", produced and aged in the Douro Valley, can be enjoyed now or laid down horizontally for several decades. In either case, note that this is an unfiltered wine, and for that reason we suggest decanting it before serving. Allergen information Contains sulphites. SKU: 106812
