Vintage Port (UK Bottled)

Outstanding Vintage Port from one of the best vintages of the last century.

Reviews:
“…for me this is now one of the best and most elegant of all the ‘63s. I have made a total of sixteen notes since the early 1980s when it emerged, fully fledged and totally delicious”.

Vintage Port
Bottled & shipped by Hedges & Butler Ltd

Medium-deep garnet with a clear amber rim, showing maturity but still vibrant in the core.

Nose:
Beautifully evolved bouquet of dried red fruits, figs, and dates, layered with notes of cigar box, walnuts, orange peel, and a gentle lift of rose petal. Subtle spice—clove and cinnamon—adds depth.

Palate:
Silky and harmonious on the palate. The structure is still impressively intact with soft, integrated tannins and a lovely acidity that keeps the sweetness in balance. Flavours of stewed cherries, prune, and black tea unfold, leading into notes of mocha and aged wood. The wine lingers with a refined, nutty complexity and a whisper of eucalyptus. …

Vintage Port

Ferreira Vintage Port 1963 is a magnificent example from one of the greatest Port vintages of the 20th century. Ferreira, one of the oldest and most historic houses, produced a beautifully structured and long-lived wine that has now developed over six decades into a refined and deeply expressive mature Port. Bottles from 1963 are increasingly rare, and Ferreira’s offering is particularly admired for its elegance and purity.

The bouquet is wonderfully aromatic, showing lifted notes of dried figs, cherries, orange peel and plum compote. Layers of cedar, tobacco, warm spice and a touch of cocoa emerge with aeration, revealing the complexity that long bottle ageing brings. …
