It is always red and of all port wines it is the one with the longest aging potential. This long aging potential comes from the complex and concentrated grapes used in its production. It is very dark in colour, rich in tannins, with a lot of body and structure and intense on both the nose and the palate. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve all the elements that can support long bottle aging. Dark purple when young, the red color becomes lighter and lighter over time. However, it takes several decades, if not a century, for the brown nuances to emerge. The fruit flavors remain throughout the life of the Vintage Port. It is fresher in the initial phase, but over time more dried fruit aromas emerge. For most port wine collectors and lovers, the vintage port is the most treasured port wine. It is made in small batches. Annual production rarely exceeds 1% of total port wine production. And that's only justified by the fact that we need a combination of factors: excellent weather conditions in the best locations to grow grapes in the Douro. It's not about quantity, it's about putting the best of the best in the bottle for us or the next generation to enjoy. In the best harvests, our Vintage Port will incorporate grapes from the various quintas to retain as much complexity as the best grapes can produce. This was the case, for example, in 2005, 2007 or 2011. There are other years when perfection has not been achieved in all vineyards. But when, in our flagship and most consistent Quinta, Vale d'Agodinho, we have obtained grapes in perfect conditions and of excellent quality that we believe make a wonderful Vintage Port, then we bottle what we call a Single Quinta Vintage Port. This is the case, for example, with the vintages 2008, 2010 or 2013.

This means that Colheita is aged in barrels for at least seven years to develop a more brownish color and be affected by the slow oxidation that occurs when port comes into contact with oak. Because Quevedo Colheitas are grown in the upper part of the Douro Valley, where yields are low and tannins are more persistent, they show a fruity character when young and are quite full-bodied. Over time, the tannins soften and the fruit gives way to spice and nutty flavors. At this point they become complex and rich. We can bottle the Colheita every year as long as it is seven or more years old. A Colheita from a given year can be very different depending on the year it was bottled. The longer it ages in the barrel, the less fruity aromas and tannins it has, because in the bottle the lack of oxygen slows down its evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quevedo","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 0.75L","offer_id":43946605412618,"sku":"MP-TAWN-QUEVE-2639","price":47.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/files\/tawny-port-colheita-2002-quevedo-maitre-philippe-filles-quevedo-218295.png?v=1774991804"},{"product_id":"quartett-easy-drinking-portwines-quevedo","title":"Quartet Easy Drinking Portwines - Quevedo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of the 4 simplest port wines from the Quevedo family.

It is always red and of all port wines it is the one with the longest aging potential. This long aging potential comes from the complex and concentrated grapes used to produce it. It is very dark in color, rich in tannins, with a lot of body and structure and intense on both the nose and the palate. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve all the elements that can support long-term storage in the bottle. Dark purple when young, the red color becomes lighter over time. However, it takes several decades, if not a century, for the brown nuances to emerge. The fruit flavors remain throughout the life of the Vintage Port. In the initial phase it is fresher, with time more dried fruit aromas emerge. For most port wine collectors and lovers, Vintage Port is the most valued port wine. It is produced in small quantities. Annual production rarely exceeds 1% of total port wine production. And this is only justified by the fact that we need a combination of factors: excellent weather conditions in the best locations to grow grapes in the Douro. It's not about quantity, it's about putting the best of the best in the bottle for us or the next generation to enjoy. In the best harvests, our Vintage Port will contain grapes from the different Quintas to preserve as much complexity as the best grapes can produce. This was the case, for example, in 2005, 2007 or 2011. There are other years when perfection was not achieved in all vineyards. But when we have received grapes in our flagship and most consistent Quinta, Vale d'Agodinho, in perfect conditions and with excellent quality that we believe make a wonderful Vintage Port, then we bottle what we call a Single Quinta Vintage Port. This is the case, for example, with the 2008, 2010 or 2013 vintages. Drink it young if you want to enjoy the freshness and intensity of the best port, or wait a few years and you will experience elegance, complexity and harmony in a bottle of port.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quevedo","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 0.75L","offer_id":44678913294602,"sku":"MP-PORT-QUEVE-2831","price":45.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/files\/portwein-vintage-2020-quevedo-maitre-philippe-filles-quevedo-429573.png?v=1774991808"},{"product_id":"portwein-vintage-2019-quevedo","title":"Port wine Vintage 2019 - Quevedo","description":"\u003cp\u003e The year 2019 was perfect for the Touriga Franca plots and it explains the elegance of this vintage port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It has been blended with the best grapes from the vineyards at Quinta da Trovisca to form its backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A wine of amazing concentration and yet so elegant.

It is always red and of all port wines it is the one with the longest aging potential. This long aging potential comes from the complex and concentrated grapes used to produce it. It is very dark in color, rich in tannins, with a lot of body and structure and intense on both the nose and the palate. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve all the elements that can support long-term storage in the bottle. Dark purple when young, the red color becomes lighter over time. However, it takes several decades, if not a century, for the brown nuances to emerge. The fruit flavors remain throughout the life of the Vintage Port. In the initial phase it is fresher, with time more dried fruit aromas emerge. For most port wine collectors and lovers, Vintage Port is the most valued port wine. It is produced in small quantities. Annual production rarely exceeds 1% of total port wine production. And this is only justified by the fact that we need a combination of factors: excellent weather conditions in the best locations to grow grapes in the Douro. It's not about quantity, it's about putting the best of the best in the bottle for us or the next generation to enjoy. In the best harvests, our Vintage Port will contain grapes from the different Quintas to preserve as much complexity as the best grapes can produce. This was the case, for example, in 2005, 2007 or 2011. There are other years when perfection was not achieved in all vineyards.
