Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from vineyards controlled by Quinta do Vallado in Rio Torto. The grapes (70% with stalks) were fermented for 4 days in “lagares” with periodic foot-trodding. The wine is then aged for 21 months in stainless steel vats.
Serving Hints
A classic vintage Port from the region, it is perfect served on its own, and also very tasty when served with aged Stilton or other blue cheeses and nuts.
Interesting Fact
Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira was an ancestor of the current owners of Quinta do Vallado. A remarkable woman, especially for her time (mid- to-late 1700s), she was one of the most powerful port producers in Portugal who built the Ferreira Port label into one of the best in the country. It also was one of the very few port houses owned by a Portuguese family (at that time, most were owned by British companies). It is on her land that Quinta do Vallado is situated.
