Quinta do Passadouro Vintage 2021

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz.

Tasting Notes: This Vintage Port 2021 displays a lovely, deep blue-black colour. On the nose, it remains intense with notes of ripe and juicy fruits. The flavours are reminiscent of violets, plums and prunes and take on the essence of the Vale de Mendiz terroir. A hint of dark chocolate adds to its appeal, while still maintaining a delicate and fresh profile. This Port showcases well-ripened tannins and solid length of flavour. Its finish is marked by delicacy and balance.

Terroir: Altitude of the Vineyards: 100 to 150m. Soil: Schist. Plantation system: Traditional terraces made with schist stone. Harvest: from 9th of September to 18th of October.

Vinification: Grapes are trodden by foot to obtain the must, then they macerate in the lagares, the traditional stone vats from the Quinta, to ensure the best possible extraction of aromas, colour and tannins during fermentation.

Ageing: It is matured for 18 months in wooden casks, before bottling.

Winemaker: Ausenda Matos
