Quinta do Passadouro Vintage 2022

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Francisca, Sousão.

Tasting Notes: This Quinta do Passadouro Vintage Port showcases a profound colour. Its aromas are elegantly concentrated, marrying black fruits with spicy and fresh notes, with intense floral characteristics. On the palate, it delivers a smooth mouthfeel, impeccably balanced by fine tannins and excellent acidity. Its finish is long, with dark chocolate flavours. A stunning wine that is a testament to Passadouro's terroir.

Vinification: As usual, we have made a rigorous selection of the best batches of wines from different parcels of Quinta do Passadouro. This year's blend is made up of three different lots from the Pinhão valley. 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: The wine is matured for 18 months in wooden casks, before bottling.

Winemaker: Ausenda Matos
