ABF 1888 Port
Tasting Notes
This extraordinary Port stands out with its seductive mahogany hue accented with hints of green when stirred, an evident sign of age. Its aroma is rich and complex with notes of dried figs and plums, iodine and spices. The palate presents remarkable freshness on the nose. Even though it is unctuous and dense, it finishes with balanced acidity and persistence.
Vineyards
This wine originated from vines that pre-date phylloxera, and was produced using the traditional method of foot-treading in lagares.
Winemaking
The Port was brought to life by a small producer of the Douro, based in the Lower Corgo area neighboring Quinta do Vallado, who kept it with great care in three 650L barrels, since 1888. Due to evaporation, to which it was subjected to for over a century, the wine was reduced to 700L, still found within its original barrels, where it aged.
