O tym locie
A superb Quinta das Carvalhas Vintage Port 2018, produced from selected old-vine parcels at one of the historic estates of the Douro Valley. The 2018 Vintage was made from an old-vines field blend, with the grapes selectively hand-harvested and traditionally foot-trodden in granite lagares. Following fortification, the wine matured for approximately two years in oak vats before bottling. Production was extremely limited: the producer’s technical documentation records just 8,933 bottles of 750ml. The wine has received significant critical recognition. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 94 points, describing a perfumed, structured Port with dried-fruit and fresh-plum character and recommending drinking from 2030. The producer describes the 2018 as concentrated and complex, combining wild berries, rockrose and ripe liquorice with freshness, depth and a long finish. This example retains its capsule and numbered Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto guarantee seal (No. 879728). The bottle shown appears very clean, with excellent label presentation and intact closure.

Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
