  Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage Portvin Portugal 19,5%

  Item no.: 222464-381

  Violets, black-pepper-soaked plums and a fresh, almost saline finish - the 2020 vintage from Quinta do Infantado is a Port with an edge.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage is a vintage Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

  The wine comes exclusively from the 2020 harvest and is made in the traditional way, with foot-treading and brief cask ageing before bottling for further maturation. The style is powerful yet fresh, with a green edge that plays against the sweet, black cherry and blackberry fruit.

  Behind the bottle stands Quinta do Infantado, founded in 1816 and run by the Roseira family since the late 1800s. In 1979 the estate became the first in the Douro Valley to bottle its own Port on site, a pioneering decision that still shapes its style today, with third-generation João Roseira overseeing both vineyard and cellar across the estate's 46 hectares.

  Tasting Notes

  Palate

  Quinta Do Infantado Tawny Portvin Portugal 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-376

  A family estate that has trodden its own grapes since 1979 - this tawny carries that history forward in every glass touched with golden edges.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta Do Infantado Tawny is a tawny Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

  The wine is a blend of two to three vintages matured in cask in the estate's own cellars, giving it a characteristic red colour with golden edges and a profile that is more restrained in sweetness than many other tawnies on the market.

  Quinta do Infantado was founded in 1816 in the Cima Corgo section of the Douro Valley and has been owned by the Roseira family since the late 1800s. In 1979 the estate became the first in the Douro Valley to bottle its own Port on the property instead of sending it to Vila Nova de Gaia, breaking with the trading monopoly of the time in a move that has defined the estate's identity ever since. Today third-generation João Roseira runs the 46 hectares of vineyards, 12 of which are farmed organically.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers ripe fruit, figs and nuts alongside caramelised notes, hazelnut, raisin and a hint of spice.

  Palate

  The palate is soft, showing both freshness and clear signs of maturity, with roasted hazelnuts and sultanas leading into a mild sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is long and well-balanced, sweet without becoming heavy.

  Did You Know?

  Quinta do Infantado was the first estate in the entire Douro Valley to bottle its own Port on site instead of sending the casks to the large trading houses in Vila Nova de Gaia - a decision that in 1979 broke a trading pattern that had stood almost unchanged since the 1700s.
