It is not every day that an oenologist has the opportunity to find hidden treasures in Douro. Therefore, the creation of this Port Wine was a very special process for Marta Casanova, Oenologist and General Director of Quinta da Côrte.

Barrel 28 was among the 50 casks of Port Wine that existed in the Port Wine Cellar and which were acquired along with the wines when purchased by Vignobles Austruy. In January 2014, winemaker Marta Casanova tasted all the wine in the barrels, she was pleasantly surprised with this treasure, and quickly realized the potential that the wine from Barrel 28 could have.

Traditional, in granite vats, called Lagares, where the grapes are pressed by foot treading in order to extract the component elements of the grapes with great precision.

This classy tawny immediately seduces you with the complexity of its aromas: currants, raisins, licorice, cinnamon, candied citrus fruit, coffee, cashew nut, caramel, walnuts… Sweet and harmonious blend with magnificent complexity. Very tasty, and balanced, with freshness, that evolves to a long, rich, and clean finish.
