Colheita
This single harvest Tawny from the 2000 harvest was produced with grapes from our main estate, Quinta Vale d’Agodinho. 2000 was a year of concentration and balance, and this Port has aged beautifully and shows the elegance and concentration that only great vintages can obtain.

Winemaking Details
An absolutely dry winter was compensated by a very wet spring. Summer was mild and great for grape ripening.Hand-harvested grapes from Quinta Vale d'Agodinho vineyard. This is an iconic family-owned vineyard, field blend, dry farmed and terrace pleanted on the shore of the Douro river in Ferradosa area; fermented on the native yeasts followed by two years of ageing in stainless steel tanks. Once most of the natural decantion is finished, this Port was moved to seasoned oak balseiro and casks until bottling. Unfiltered. Last bottling was in November 2020.
