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 40 Year Old Tawny Port originates from selected plots of old vines at the estate, planted under the "Vinhas Mistas" (mixed vineyard) concept. 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 40 years.
A very old, refined, and smooth Port, with immense complexity that we define as "aged to perfection."

It has a deep color, indicating the long years of ageing and concentration in the cask. Notes of iodine, dried apricot, and roasted aromas are present. On the palate, it starts very silky and glyceric, finishing long with a slight impression of tannin, a result of the wood aging.
Aged Tawnies from Quinta das Carvalhas are blends created from the extensive collection of old Port wines from the estate, aged in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. This 40-year-old blend was crafted from a careful selection of exceptional harvests from the 1970s and 1980s, aged in the finest oak casks. As a refinement and following the estate's style, a slight touch of wines less influenced by the wood is added, which, combined with the complexity and exuberance of the older wines, brings balance, elegance, and harmony to this powerful and unique blend.
