Quinta do Infantado Port 10 Years Tawny, 0.375 L, 19.5% 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, 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.
