10YO Tawny Port

Quinta da Côrte lies in the heart of the Douro Valley’s “golden triangle” in the Cima-Corgo sub-region, where steep, terraced vineyards cling to the region’s distinctive schist slopes. With vine plantings dating back to 1814, some over a century old, the estate embodies the deep heritage of Douro winemaking. Its wines are crafted using traditional methods such as foot-treading in granite lagares, preserving authenticity and a true sense of place. Each bottle reflects the character, history, and timeless craftsmanship of this remarkable terroir.

A rich amber color with pale mahogany highlights, right from the outset this 10-year-old Tawny releases a superb aromatic palate, starting with notes of almond, walnut, fig, dried fruits, currants and orange confit before developing notes of torrefaction, wood and resin. In the mouth it shows the same complexity, overlaid on a rich, deep, concentrated structure which is sustained by a wonderful acidity. It then develops with great vigour and integrity towards a finish of exceptional length which leaves very elegant flavors in the mouth.
