The story of Quinta do Infantado
If you mention the term Vila Nova de Gaia in the Douro Valley in Portugal, you will often hear cursing words from the owners of smaller wineries. Until 1986, all port wines intended for export had to be shipped via the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia. This often made it impossible for the operators of small houses to sell their wines abroad, as they simply could not afford to operate a trading office in Vila Nova de Gaia.
However, after the law was overturned, completely new markets opened up for the producers and port wine lovers all over the world had the opportunity to taste numerous new bottlings. Among the small wineries, Quinta do Infantado in particular has established itself in recent years and is now considered the leading supplier of estate-bottled ports - in other words port wines bottled on the winery.
The production of port wines at Quinta do Infantado
Quinta do Infantado is considered a very traditional producer. The vineyards of this estate are still worked by hand, which includes harvesting the grapes. The harvest is then traditionally pressed with the feet of the vineyard workers. This is the only way to guarantee that the majority of the grape seeds remain intact and that only a small amount of bitter substances get into the pressed juice. The short and intensive fermentation that follows is interrupted with brandy and the still young and fiery port is then stored. Very different port wines are produced depending on the grapes and the type of storage. This gift set contains five of the most popular bottlings from Quinta do Infantado.
The contents of the gift set
This small but fine gift set contains a total of five different port wines. A mild, white port that is particularly suitable as an aperitif is included, as is a young and fruity Ruby Port that is best enjoyed with food. The Tawny Port and the Reserva Especial, which are also included, have a slightly stronger aroma. They have been aged for several years and are comparable to the intensity of a Vintage Port. Last but not least, the Reserva Dona Margarida is also included. A six-year-old Tawny Port with the great aroma of dried fruit, nuts and vanilla. This set is the ideal gift for every port wine lover!
