Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Years Old

When fine Porto wines are aged in oak barrels over many years, they gradually lose their original deep purple color and acquire the delicate amber hue known as tawny. At the same time, the simple fruitfulness of young Porto gradually recedes, giving way to a wide range of subtle and smooth flavors such as licorice, nuts, honey, figs, vanilla, spices and refined oak.

Portos with an indication of age are blends from several years that have developed a refined flavor, the result of aging in selected oak barrels, which give the maturity and character typical of old tawnies.

The cellar master’s wisdom and expertise guarantee the best selection of Portos in each blend. Older Portos bring complexity and maturity, while younger ports offer vigor and freshness. The result is an aged Tawny, with the average ages indicated on the label.
