Description from the seller
Quinta de La Rosa 20 Years Old Tawny Port 3 x 0.50L
3 Bottles
Port Wine
WINEMAKER: Jorge Moreira.
AWARDS/RECOMMENDATIONS
92 Points, Falstaff
92 Points, Wine & Spirits
91 Points, Wine Spectator
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
18 Points, Vinum Magazine
WINE VARIETIES: Traditional port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão & Tinta Roriz.
VINIFICATION
Each year carefully selected grapes to be foot trodden in granite lagares and a small number the resulting wines are set aside to be aged in old 550l oak pipes for an average of 20 years before being blende. As with all of our ports the 20 Year Old Tawny is fermented slightly longer to guarantee a dry finish and we work hard to ensure that the brandy is well incorporated.
TASTING NOTES
The 20 Year Old Tawny has a beautiful golden colour and great richness and aromatic complexity, including notes of almonds, spices and liquer. On the palate, almonds are accompanied by dried fruits, including figs and plums, with La Rosa’s signature long, dry finish.
SERVING
Quinta de La Rosa Porto Tawny 20 Years Old is delicious served with fig tart, crème Brulee and hard cheeses such as Manchego or Ilhas.
HISTORY
In 1815, Dietrich Feueheerd arrives in Porto from Hamburg where his uncle was Mayor and surrendered the city to Napoleon. He lives with his family in Porto/Aveiro and starts trading in minerals and ports.
In 1906, Quinta de la Rosa is bought for Claire (Sophia’s grandmother) by her English grandmother as a christening present.
In 1935, the port shipping company, Feueheerd Bros, is sold to the Barros Family. Thankfully, La Rosa remains in family hands as it was Claire’s personal property. Grapes are sold to Sandeman and others.
Tim Bergqvist, together with his daughter, Sophia, relaunches Quinta de la Rosa in 1988. La Rosa starts making port under its own label again and soon after is one of the first Quintas to produce wine.
In 2005, Tim fulfils ambition of owning a Quinta in the Douro Superior by buying Quinta das Bandeiras. The Passagem brand is launched.
