Porto Vin Vintage - Portugal
Differential: Originating from the 2022 vintage — one of the hottest and driest years ever recorded in the region, yet marked by the exceptional health and ripeness of the grapes — this Vintage from Vasques de Carvalho is born from a rigorous grape selection. Following a careful yet intense vinification in traditional lagares (fouloirs), it captures in the bottle the full essence of the terroir and the potential required by this prestigious category, revealing a classic and unforgettable Vintage that embodies the spirit of a great Baixo Corgo wine.
Contents: 75cl (20.5% vol.) bottle with a deep violet color. On the nose, it remains somewhat reserved aromatically, yet already unveils ripe fruit notes, hints of cocoa and subtle toasted aromas.
How to take: On the palate, it reveals notes of black fruits, plums, a certain rusticity and dryness, supported by excellent acidity and a firm tannic structure. This blend (assemblage) naturally calls for bottle aging and extended rest over time.
Harmonization: Ideal for moments that call for a great structured wine, with remarkable acidity and outstanding aging potential.
