Quinta do Porto is the oldest Ferreira property located in the heart of the Douro region, near the town of Pinhão. It is a prime vineyard location with excellent southerly exposure and schist soils. The Quinta do Caêdo vineyards are positioned on steep terraces on both sides of the Caêdo tributary to the Douro river. The rows of vines are terraced with supporting dry stone walls (solcalcos) and the estate boasts many vines of over 100 years of age.

Nevertheless, these lower yields and a long and steady ripening period during the hot, dry summer resulted in top-quality grapes with great concentration, creating a Ferreira 2018 that really is a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"potential beauty\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (Wine Advocate).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing from the best plots across the most iconic Ferreira and Sandeman vineyards, this 2018 is made from a blend of 45% Touriga Franca and 40% Touriga Nacional, with rest made up of an old vine field-blend and a small amount of Sousão.

Whilst 10, 20, 30 and 40 year Tawny ports are regularly produced, on very rare occasions, \u003cstrong\u003eselected casks are bottled as part of the “Very Old” series\u003c\/strong\u003e - these wines set the standard that all others aspire to – but no-one does it quite like Taylor’s! This series is only released in extremely limited quantities and represents the cream of their aged reserves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor most people, the word ‘Port’ refers to vintage port – wine from a single vintage aged entirely in bottle. Tawny port is aged in oak barrels, and is a blend of vintages, but these single harvest Tawny ports are usually referred to as Colheitas - a far cry from vintage port with very slow and gentle cask ageing creating ports of extreme aromatic complexity with delightfully mellow structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatured in Taylor’s historic lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, the 1976 Single Harvest Port offers remarkable aromatic intensity after 50 years of ageing, with rich dried fruit, caramel, and spice. \u003cstrong\u003eI tasted the wine earlier this week and it is as usual, sensational! A deep rich chestnut colour, the nose is floral and elegant with intenser notes of honey, treacle and red berry jam, with cedary, cigar-box notes and wild herbs. Concentrated and rich on the palate, full of dried figs, apricots and marmaladey notes, finishing clean and fresh and oh, so moreish! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release embodies Taylor’s commitment to excellence, tradition and craftsmanship. In strictly limited volumes, it’s not every day that you get the chance to taste 50 year old wine, and due to the many years of oxidative ageing, this wine can also be kept in the fridge after opening for at last a month, if not two, if you can resist the temptation!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eN.B.
