Quinta Da Vacaria 10 Anos Porto Porto

Descrição

The Quinta da Vacaria, one of the oldest estates in the region (first record dates to 1616), lies on the banks of the Douro River beside the town of Régua, in the heart of the world’s oldest demarcated wine region, the Douro. At the estate’s quay, Rabelo barges would dock to load their cargo of port wine and carry it to Gaia at the river mouth, where it was sold wholesale worldwide, its hidden identity obscured by the fact that these wooden hulls were not even marked with the producer’s seal. Upon arrival, the wine was bottled and labelled with the brand of the foreign merchants who purchased it, some of whom went on to gain considerable prestige. The year of bottling may not correspond to the image shown. (Illustrative image)
