Vintage Port 2016 - Jeroboam (3l)

For many port wine lovers, Vintage Port is the ultimate highlight. This specialty revolves entirely around the year and age of the port wine. A Vintage Port can only be one of the finest Ruby Ports, which are bottled unfiltered and allowed to mature for decades – until a special moment arrives and the bottle is finally opened.

The Vasques de Carvalho Vintage 2016 is a top-quality Ruby Port that was allowed to age for 2-3 years in large casks and then bottled unfiltered.

Vintage ports are the fruitiest and closest to red wine. Therefore, they are best suited for food. A vintage port matures in the bottle and, unlike a tawny port, oxidizes immediately after opening. The Vasques de Carvalho Vintage 2016 should therefore be consumed within 48 hours. Each bottle is numbered.

The Vasques de Carvalho Vintage 2016 is a very dark, concentrated port wine with intense aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums, paired with notes of violets, dark chocolate, and spices. It is full-bodied with firm tannins and lively acidity, giving it excellent aging potential.
