20 Year Old

The Tawny Ports from Quinta das Carvalhas are the result of a lifetime of expertise in the art of blending, following the unique philosophy of the estate and of Pedro Silva Reis (Master Blender): age with approachability, always in harmony and balance. We seek the character that comes with age, but always paired with elegance and captivating freshness.

The Quinta das Carvalhas 20 Year Old Tawny Port originates from selected plots of old vines planted under the traditional "Vinhas Mistas" (mixed vineyard) system. This Port is crafted from a blend of wines from different vintages, rigorously selected and aged in premium oak casks, with an average age of 20 years.

Wine profile

It has an amber-brown color; aromas of raisin, dried fruit, and noble nuances of oak cask wood stand out. The taste is balanced and smooth, with the brandy well integrated. Its texture combines "delicacy" and persistence. The finish is lively, with a slight touch of dryness and rusticity, reflecting the style of the estate.

AGEING AND BLENDING

This 20-year-old blend was crafted from a selection of more than six Port wines aged in oak casks, with its base partly made up of the previous 20-year-old batch and complemented by a selection of Harvests (Colheitas) around 20 years old. During the blending process, greater complexity and depth of flavor are achieved by adding a small percentage of a very old Harvest (approximately 40 years old), while being balanced by the inclusion of younger wine. The result is a blend where the eccentricity of age is harmonized with the vigor of youth—a wine of great detail and elegance.
