1969 - Quinta da Devesa Port Colheita White 0.5L

Quinta da Devesa Port Wines, are produced
exclusively from lots vinified and aged in the
estate.
Since 1941, vintages considered of superior
quality by the family winemakers, were kept
and stored in wooden barrels in the winery
cellars.
Colheitas are dated Tawnies from one single
harvest. The minimum age requirement is 7
years, but the tradition at Quinta da Devesa is
to age several more years before bottling. The
wine ages at our cellars in "balseiros", "tonéis“
or 550l casks.
Produced and aged in Quinta da Devesa for 50
years, this Colheita Port was bottled in 2018.
QUINTA DA DEVESA
Quinta da Devesa was already included in the
first map of the Douro Demarcated Region,
created by Baron of Forrester in 1844.
Acquired by Fortunato family in 1941, it has
been since then dedicated to Douro and Port
Wines.
On the Baixo Corgo sub-region, and only 10
kms away from Peso da Régua, Quinta da
Devesa vineyard and winery are located on a
promontory which overlooks the confluence of
the rivers Douro and Corgo, from where a
wonderful sight can be enjoyed, covering the
valleys of the rivers and mountains of the
region.
Its 34 hectares, planted with the grape
varieties recommended for the region, go from
a quota of 60 m up to 500 m high, part facing
south getting an excellent sun exposure, and
part facing the buttresses of Marão, where it
receives natural cool winds. This diversity of
solar and wind exposure provides different
levels of grape maturation and development,
which allow to temporize harvesting in optimal
conditions.
TASTING NOTES
This Porto Colheita 1969 White presents us
with an outstanding bouquet, a very crisp
acidity, due to the complexity, refined quality
and long aftertaste.
This White Colheita is really impressive in Its
aroma of candied orange, exotic resins and
honey hints. On the palate is really delicious
and subtle, with a very long and vigorous
aftertaste.
TEMPERATURE
Serve at 14ºC. Once opened, preserves its
good tasting notes for at least 2 months.
