10 Year Old White Port

Aged White Port is one of Quevedo’s pride. This White Port was crafted by blending a selection of our cellar’s best aged Ports averaging 10 years. These Ports aged in old neutral wood casks, each with its own personality. The result: A smooth, rich, complex, multi-layered and very balanced 10-Year-old White.

TASTING NOTES

Colour

Golden amber

AROMA

Dried and candied fruits like mango and apricot, plums, raisins, quince.

PALATE

Lovely balance between the fruits, sweetness and acidity. The wine develops on layers of flavours between the candied and dried fruits, the acidity combines with some bitter notes due to the slow oxidation in cask to bring nerve to the wine before leaving us on a beautiful complex finish lingering on spicy notes.

PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

10 Year Old White Port

90/100

Mark Squires - The Wine Advocate

The NV 10 Year Old White Port is a blend of Malvasia Fina (29%), Viosinho (24%), Gouveio (23%) and Moscatel Galego (15%), plus a dollop of Rabigato, bottled in January 2023 with 91 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. Last year was the winery’s first bottling of a 10 Year white. This is the new follow-up. It is rather splendid. For a 10 Year, there is plenty of concentration and power both. It is focused and precise with a big finish. It’s just sweet enough to avoid being stern but dry enough to be balanced. The winery seems to touch all the bases here. These do not require aging and are made to drink on release, but they can certainly hold a reasonable time (likely more than indicated), if you must hold them.
