The history of Quinta do Infantado
Quinta do Infantado is a small port wine estate from the town of Pinhão in the Gontelho region of the Douro Valley. Like many other small estates, Quinta do Infantado was severely limited in the sale of its port wines until 1986. This was due to a trade law that only allowed the export of port via the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia. Since many smaller producers could not afford a trading location within the city area, their only option was to sell their port wines domestically or to sell them by the barrel to large manufacturers. Fortunately, this law was overturned, allowing port wine lovers all over the world to enjoy high-quality port wines from previously lesser-known companies. In the area of estate-bottled ports, Quinta do Infantado is now one of the leading suppliers!

The production of port at Quinta do Infantado
Quinta do Infantado has several terraced vineyards which, due to their soil conditions, provide ideal conditions for growing grapes. The greatest emphasis is placed on manual work when harvesting and caring for the vineyards. After the grapes have been picked by hand, they are taken to the winery and crushed there in the traditional way. In this case, traditional means that the vineyard workers trample the grapes with their feet. This is still the gentlest method, as mechanical presses often damage the grape seeds and bitter substances get into the port. After fermentation has been stopped with brandy, the still young and fiery port is stored in barrels and tanks.

The Quinta do Infantado Port 10 years

This bottling is a 10-year-old Tawny Port. So in the end it is a Ruby Port that has been stored for a long time and which has transformed some of its fresh and fruity notes into mature notes of nuts, dried fruit and caramel during the long storage period. The aftertaste is very long and this 10 year old Tawny Port is quite rightly considered one of the best in its class!

Quinta do Infantado Port 20 Years, 0,75 L, 19,5%
Quinta do Infantado Port 20 years, 0.75 L, 20% The history of Quinta do Infantado Until 1986, all port wines that were to be transported had to go through the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia. Since many small producers could not afford a trading location there, their only option was to sell the wines in their own country or to sell them by the barrel to the large corporations. The small winery Quinta do Infantado was also affected by this law. The estate is located in the Gonthelo region, which is particularly known for the good quality of the grapes grown there. After the trade law was overturned, Quinta do Infantado and its ports quickly made a good name for themselves abroad. The winery is now considered a leading provider of estate-bottled ports - ports that are bottled directly on the winery. The production of port wines at Quinta do Infantado The Quinta's vines grow on terraced vineyards and are cultivated using traditional methods. This includes harvesting by hand and then pressing the grapes with the feet of the vineyard workers. This natural method is far gentler than mechanical pressing, as this is the only way to ensure that the majority of the grape seeds remain intact and that fewer bitter substances get into the pressed juice. After a short but intensive fermentation, the yeast activity is stopped by adding brandy. This is followed by storage, which can last several decades. The Quinta do Infantado Port 20 years This is also the case with the Quinta do Infantado Port 20 years, which is stored for a total of 20 years. During this long storage period, this Tawny Port develops a color reminiscent of amber with light brown reflections. On the nose and palate, the twenty-year-old port is reminiscent of plums, dried apricots, figs and walnuts. The long aftertaste is characterized by the aroma of vanilla and hazelnuts. To allow this rare port to develop its full aroma, we recommend decanting it at least an hour before consumption.

Quinta do Infantado Reserva Dona Margarida Port, 0,75 L, 19,5%
Quinta do Infantado Reserva Dona Margarida Port, 0.75 L, 19.5% The history of Quinta do Infantado Quinta do Infantado has been a leading provider of estate-bottled ports - port wines bottled on the winery - since 1979. Until then, port wines had to be shipped by law via the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia, which lies about 60 kilometers west of the Douro Valley. This practice made it virtually impossible for small wineries to export their wines, as they simply could not afford a trading location in Vila Nova de Gaia. Since the law was overturned, however, port wine lovers all over the world have had the opportunity to try the ports of smaller wineries such as Quinta do Infantado. The company's quinta (winery) is located in Pinhão in the Gontelho region. A region that is particularly known for grapes with good harvest quality. The estate is run by the Roseira family, who have owned the Quinta since the 19th century. The terraced vineyards are still cultivated using traditional methods. This also means that all work steps in the vineyard are done by hand. After the harvest, the grapes are also very traditionally crushed with feet. This is much gentler on the grapes than mechanical pressing, as only the human foot is sensitive enough not to crush the grape seeds. This is followed by rapid and intensive mashing and fermentation, which is stopped after a few days by the addition of brandy. The Quinta do Infantado Reserva Dona Margarida Port The Reserva Dona Margarida is a special port wine bottling from Quinta do Infantado. The port wines for this bottling are stored in barrels for six years and are therefore classified as Tawny Ports. These are Ruby Ports that have been stored for longer and that take on a colour reminiscent of amber over time and show more notes of maturity on the nose and palate. The Port is intended to be reminiscent of the legendary Dona Margarida, who was particularly known in the region for her intelligence, sensitivity and character. The Reserva Dona Margarida Port also has a unique character and is therefore highly recommended!

Quinta do Infantado Reserva Especial Port, 0,375 L, 19,5%
Quinta do Infantado Reserva Especial Port, 0.375 L, 19.5% The story of Quinta do Infantado It actually sounds unbelievable, but until 1986, it was virtually impossible for small port wine houses to sell their goods outside of Portugal. Until that year, the law stipulated that port wine had to be shipped via the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia. However, this was only possible if you had a branch there. As land prices were naturally very expensive, this was only possible for very large traders and port wine houses. Small producers, such as Quinta do Infantado, therefore had little choice but to sell their laboriously produced port wines by the barrel to the large producers. They then blended them and produced their well-known blends. When the law was finally overturned, a new era began. Not just for the small quintas, but also for port wine connoisseurs who now have the opportunity to taste numerous new bottlings. The production of ports at Quinta do Infantado The Quinta do Infantado is idyllically located on the Douro, in the Gontelho district of the Pinhão region. The estate has several vineyards there. These are on very steep slopes, are terraced and have solid soil. These special conditions make the use of machines virtually impossible, which is why every step in the vineyard is traditionally done by hand. This is of great benefit to the end product, as the grapes obtained in this way are of the highest quality. Immediately after the harvest, these are taken to the winery and there, also traditionally, are crushed by the vineyard workers with their feet. The use of mechanical presses is deliberately avoided, as these damage the grape seeds and bitter substances enter the must. The must is then fermented and fermentation is stopped after a few days by adding brandy. At Quinta do Infantado, however, fermentation takes longer than at other manufacturers, which means that less brandy is needed and there is less fruit sugar in the end product. The ports are therefore drier than other bottlings and are also referred to as "medium-dry style". The Quinta do Infantado Reserva Especial Port The Reserva Especial Port is a high-quality Ruby Port, made mainly from grapes from one year. In terms of style, it is therefore similar to a Vintage Port, with all its complex aromas of dried fruit, dark berries, leather and vanilla. A great tipple!

The special production method of the port, in which fermentation is stopped by adding brandy, gives the wine its natural sweetness and unique taste.

The Andresen Colheita Port Special Selection 1991/2021 impresses with its golden brown color and unfolds a beguiling bouquet of dried figs and a delicate nutty note, surrounded by ripe fruit. Every nuance reveals a maximum of elegance and power, accompanied by an exceptional length on the tongue.
