PORTUGAL
Vintage port 2009
A single-vineyard Vintage Port, produced from just one Quinta, Roncão. The harvested vines have an average age well over 40 years old.
Vinification began with the removal of overripe and dry grapes, to ensure the wine’s quality. Treading in lagares followed, and then fortification with brandy, and aging in inox tanks. The wine was bottled in 2011
The vintage was an excellent one, making for a wine of concertation and aromatic depth, with tannins growing more plush each year in the bottle. Plum-tart and dried-cherry aromas mingle with hints of walnut and tobacco.
Soil type: Schist
