{"title":"Port","description":"\u003cp\u003ePort is Portugal's great fortified wine, made high on the terraced slopes of the Douro Valley.

Tawny takes the opposite path, ageing slowly in small casks until the colour fades to amber and flavours of caramel, dried fig and walnut come through; the 10, 20, 30 and 40 Year bottlings mark roughly how long they spent in wood, while a Colheita is a tawny from a single harvest. Vintage Port is the pinnacle, made only in declared years and built to age for decades in bottle. Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) gives you much of that depth for a fraction of the price.

Grapes for the LBV are typically hand‑harvested from carefully selected parcels, then vinified in the traditional Port manner: fermentation on skins until the desired level of sugar and structure is reached, followed by fortification with grape spirit.

Dense black fruit, damson, and cassis are supported by fresh acidity and firm but polished tannins. Notes of dark chocolate, dried figs, sweet baking spices, and a hint of espresso emerge on the long, warming finish. While delicious now after a brief aeration, the wine has the stuffing to age gracefully for another 8–12 years in good conditions, gaining complexity and a more savoury, nutty character over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the steep, high-lying terraces that give Água Alta its name, this LBV is born from classic Douro schist soils that naturally limit yields and intensify flavour. The altitude tempers the valley heat, preserving acidity and aromatic lift in the Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional grapes. Harvest is typically carried out by hand on the narrow, terraced vineyards, where machines cannot operate and careful selection is essential. After picking, the grapes are traditionally fermented in small lagares or vats, with gentle extraction to capture colour, structure, and aromatics before the addition of grape spirit to halt fermentation and retain natural sweetness. The young Port is then aged in large seasoned barrels and\/or vats for several years, allowing it to clarify and harmonise, before being bottled as a Late Bottled Vintage from a single harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuinta Água Alta LBV 2018 is a natural match for intense, flavourful desserts and rich cheeses.

Serve slightly cool, at around 14–16°C, to keep the sweetness in balance and highlight the freshness.

After fermentation is arrested with grape spirit to retain natural sweetness, the wine is aged oxidatively in seasoned wooden casks, where it spends around a decade slowly developing its complex colour, aroma, and flavour profile before careful blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 10-year-old white Port is a versatile partner at the table: serve it slightly chilled with foie gras, pâtés, hard cheeses like aged Manchego or Comté, or nut-based desserts such as almond tart, crème brûlée, or orange and almond cake. It also pairs beautifully with salted nuts, olives, and richer seafood dishes such as cod croquettes or prawn risotto. For optimal enjoyment, serve at around 10–12°C.

For many years, the estate supplied grapes and wines to the major Port houses, quietly contributing to some of the region’s best-known blends. In more recent times, the family decided to bottle under their own label, allowing them to imprint a more personal style and pursue even higher quality standards. Today, the estate is led by the young sisters Louisa and Maria Borges: Maria oversees administration and marketing, while Louisa, trained at some of the Douro’s great houses, is the winemaker. Under their stewardship, Quinta da Água Alta has begun to win awards and recognition, emerging as an exciting, quality-focused name within the Douro’s new generation of producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quinta Da Agua Alta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256320676177,"sku":"PORT97","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Portvin-portugal-douro-rabigato-viosinho-malvasia-fina-gouveio-agua-alta-10-years-white-tawny-50cl-vinogvelsmag.png?v=1783463419"},{"product_id":"warres-vintage-350-th-anniversary","title":"Warre's Vintage 350 th.

Sourced exclusively from 80–100-year-old vines in the steep terraces of the Douro, it combines extraordinary concentration with Warre’s hallmark elegance and floral finesse. With only 2,400 bottles produced and “Vinhas Velhas” proudly noted on the label, it stands as a historic tribute to Portugal’s oldest British Port house and to centuries of Douro viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Warre’s 2010 Vintage 350th Anniversary Port shows a deep, opaque ruby core with youthful purple highlights clinging to the rim—densely colored, yet brilliantly alive. The nose is strikingly perfumed: violets and rose petals lift from the glass, intertwined with ripe blackberries, cassis and wild blueberries, supported by notes of dark chocolate, licorice, crushed stone and a touch of exotic spice.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is powerful, structured and impeccably balanced. Intense, sweet black fruits—black cherry, plum and blueberry compote—unfold in layers, carried by a firm backbone of ripe tannins that are fine-grained yet authoritative. There is a beautiful interplay between Warre’s signature floral character and the depth derived from very old vines, giving extra dimension and length. Hints of cocoa, fig, and a savory mineral edge linger on a very long, precise finish. Still youthful and tightly knit, this Vintage Port has enormous aging potential and will develop added complexity, silkier texture and tertiary notes (dried fruits, tobacco, spice and truffle) over several decades. Properly cellared, it will reward patience for 40–60 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for this cuvée comes from some of the Douro Valley’s most dramatic schist and granite terraces, cut into the steep hillsides that rise above the Douro River in the Alto Douro. For this special “Vinhas Velhas” release, Warre’s selected only parcels of 80–100-year-old vines at their two flagship quintas, Quinta da Cavadinha and Quinta do Retiro. Yields are naturally tiny, and in this bottling grapes from roughly three old vines are needed to produce a single bottle. Harvest is done entirely by hand on the vertiginous stone-walled terraces, with strict bunch selection in the vineyard and at the winery. The traditional Douro varieties—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Cão—are vinified in the classic Porto style with a short, intense maceration to extract color, tannin and aroma, followed by fortification with high-quality grape spirit. The young Port then matures for approximately 24 months in seasoned oak casks in the cool cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, before being bottled unfiltered to preserve its full character and long-term aging capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 2010 Vintage Port is best enjoyed with richly flavored, mature cheeses such as Stilton, Roquefort or aged Portuguese cheeses, as well as with dark chocolate desserts, flourless chocolate cake or fig and nut tarts. It also shines as a contemplative after-dinner wine, served on its own with roasted nuts and dried fruits. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in a good-sized Port or small Bordeaux glass to allow the bouquet to unfold. Decanting is essential—both to remove the natural sediment and to help the young wine open up; for current drinking, plan on 3–4 hours in a decanter, and even longer for those who prefer a softer, more evolved profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1670, Warre’s is the oldest British Port house and one of the great historic names of the Douro, playing a pivotal role in establishing Port as one of the world’s classic fortified wines.

Here, the intense Andalusian sun and maritime breezes from the Atlantic help Pedro Ximenéz reach full ripeness before the bunches are traditionally sun-dried (asoleo) to concentrate sugars, flavours and texture. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the resulting must is fortified and aged oxidatively in the traditional Jerez solera and criadera system, housed in old casks within the century-old bodega walls on Calle Justicia 28. This fractional blending process ensures a consistent house style while layering younger, vibrant wines over older, deeply complex stocks that embody the estate’s long history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pedro Ximenéz is a natural partner for rich desserts such as sticky toffee pudding, dark chocolate fondants, flourless chocolate cake, tiramisu, or vanilla ice cream topped with a drizzle of the wine itself.

Serve lightly chilled, around 10–14°C, to highlight its aromatics without muting the texture.
