A Quinta da C¥rte Port is prepared like a grand cru: it requires precise standards, determination and know-how. Vinified in granite vats known as lagares, in keeping with the centuries-old tradition of the Douro valley, the 10 Year Tawny Port is a field blend of old vines (Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela) with an average of 10 years of aging in small oak barrels called pipas.

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 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.
