Tasting Notes
The Quinta Do Vallado 30 year-old Tawny is a very intense blend of dried fruits and honey. The taste is explosive, with a hint of orange jam and a long finish
Vineyards
The grapes come from Estate vineyards. After hand-picking, destemming and crushing, sugar is added and the resulting must is fermented in very old 600 liter oak casks and other oak vats.

Accolades
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
March 2016
The NV 30 year old Tawny Port is an old vines field blend bottled in 2015. It comes in with 159 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is most notable initially for the rich and unctuous finish, leaning more to caramel than molasses. Then, the darker flavors come out. It is not always the biggest or the most powerful, but it adds good acidity that laces through the notable sweetness, and it becomes increasingly complex. It is seriously delicious, an important point in its favor, and that unctuous feel caresses the palate.
