Quinta da Côrte
20 Years Old Tawny Port
A Quinta da Côrte Port is prepared like a grand cru: it requires precise standards, determination and know-how. Vinified in granite vats known as lagares, in keeping with the centuries-old tradition of the Douro valley, the 20 Year Tawny Port is a field blend of old vines (Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela) with an average of 20 years of aging in small oak barrels called pipas.

Gold in color, with mahogany reflections, this high-class Tawny immediately seduces with the complexity of its aromas: a heady mix of currants, liquorice, cinnamon, candied citrus peel, coffee, cashew, caramel, walnut… and more. The palate is soft and harmonious, with a fine width which develops in an equally complex fashion. Fresh, flavorsome and well-balanced, it progresses to a long, rich and well-defined finish.
