10 Year Old White Port ***90 Points - Robert Parker***
Description and Reviews:
Aged White Port is one of Quevedo’s pride. This White Port, rated as outstanding by Wine Advocate, was crafted by blending a selection of Quevedo’s best aged Ports averaging 10 years. These Ports aged in old neutral wood casks, has its own personality. The result: A smooth, rich, complex, multi-layered and very balanced 10-Year-old White
Our Tasting Notes: The Quevedo is golden-amber in colour with an aroma of dried and candied fruits like mango and apricot, plums, raisins and quince. On the palate there is a 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.
White Port is best served chilled as an aperitif.
Quevedo is part of a new generation of small family wineries based in the Douro. For many years, these families were growing grapes, and making Port wine, for merchants based in Vila Nova de Gaia.
