Product Notes

Quinta do Vallado's 20 year Tawny Port is a complex, refined wine, crafted with distinction in Portugal's famous Douro Valley. This bright amber-hued tipple contains layers of flavours; dried fruit, nutmeg, and leather, blending elegantly with rich, caramel undertones. Its time in oak barrels is unveiled in subtle nuances of oak and vanilla, making for a balanced, persistent aftertaste. The nose is an intricate blend of intense dried fruit and wooden notes. This stunning Tawny Port is perfect as an after-dinner treat, pairing wonderfully with cheese or rich desserts. Quinta do Vallado's offering is truly an exquisite ambassador for top-tier Portuguese wines.

Tasting Notes

An extremely rich but beautifully balanced 20-Year-old Tawny Port, delivering dried fruits and nuances of cigar. Fresh and unctuous, with a touch of liquorice through to a satinsmooth finish.
