Vintage Port
Produced from our best grapes from the 2010 harvest at Vale D’Agodinho, this vintage Port is the result of the best selection of what nature produced. It is a carefuly crafted Port and only small small quantities are made. Bottled 2 years after the harvest, it ages very well in bottle, so your patience will be rewarded.
