Single Harvest/ Colheita Port
SPECIAL OFFER WAS £249 NOW £179

*** Silver medal - Wine Masters Challenge World Wine Contest Estoril ***

*** Gold Medal - International Wine Concourse - Oporto ***

This excellent port from the 1958 Harvest was matured in old casks before bottling in 1984. This will now keep in the bottle for at least another 20 years.

The 1958 Valriz Colheita Port displays very complex aromas of fine spices coming from the extended ageing in casks. It is a wine, that by its age deserves to be "waited for" in the glass so that it can demonstrate its complexity, both in terms of aroma and palate. With nearly 60 years of age this true rarity deserves respect. …

Malvedos Vintage Port (Crusted)

(Grahams used to label SQVP as Crusted).

Reviews
"The 1958 was the run-away favourite of a vertical of 17 vintages of Quinta dos Malvedos. It was extraordinary, virtually water clear with a pale pink tinge in the center of the wine but with a fantastic complex rich and deep floral nose and a huge rich full flavour on the palate. Really delicious with all the pepper & spice of a full bodied vintage port. Lovely mature flavours with almost a hint of that transition from vintage flavours to the caramel tones of an old tawny. I don’t remember the last time I tasted this wine and it was a total revelation. …
