Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Porto is one of the finest ports produced by Real Companhia Velha at their most spectacular estate: Quinta das Carvalhas, a property dating back to 1759 with 120 hectares of vineyards, located on the left bank of the Douro River, in the beautiful village of Pinhão.
The English term tawny refers to ports that, like this Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old, are the result of a meticulous coupage of different wines from various harvests, crafted from native grape varieties, carefully selected and patiently aged in the highest quality oak barrels, in this case, for at least 10 years. The long aging process has given it a rich aromatic complexity and a concentrated palate, making it the perfect companion for chocolate desserts and soft, mild cheeses.
