Quinta Valle Longo Vintage 2019 – Classic Douro Port with Long Storage Potential

Quinta Valle Longo Vintage 2019 is a genuine Douro port with classic ruby red color and intense notes of black flowers and minerality. This Vintage Port wine is made with handpicked grapes from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. They give the wine an excellent balance between ripe tannins and fruity flavors. It is an unfiltered wine with great aging potential, which can be enjoyed young or stored for up to 30 years for a more complex development.

Scent: Intense and floral aroma with black flowers. Light minerality and hints of ripe berries that create a nuanced and fresh fragrance experience.
Taste: Balanced taste with ripe tannins that contribute to structure and longevity. While the rich fruit provides a pleasant rounding, so that the wine can be enjoyed now and for many years to come.
Aftertaste: Long and complex aftertaste, where fruity notes mix with the elegance of the tannins. That slowly subsides and leaves a full feeling.

Quinta Valle Longo Vintage 2019 is a classic Vintage Port wine produced at Quinta Valle Longo, located in Cima Corgo along the Douro River. With vineyards replanted in the 1980s, the quinta focuses on three main grapes – Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz – which contribute to the wine's characteristic depth and finesse. The grapes are harvested manually and processed according to traditional methods, where they are trodden with the feet in stone vessels called "lagares". Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures and the process is stopped by the addition of brandy, which gives the wine its natural sweetness and intensity.

Quinta Valle Longo Vintage 2019 is unfiltered and has remarkable aging potential. When properly stored, it can mature and develop over several decades, making it an investment for port lovers. Serve it at 16-18°C and discover how it complements strong cheeses, chocolate desserts or enjoyed with a good cigar.
