  Dalva 2016 Vintage Portugal Port Wine 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865464-88144554

  While most Port styles are made to be drunk now, this one is made to wait - a bottle that only truly unfolds decades from now.

  Expert's Description

  Dalva 2016 Vintage is a Portuguese Vintage Port from the single vintage 2016, bottled at 20%.

  A Vintage Port is only declared in years when the grape harvest is considered exceptional, and the declaration itself must be approved by Portugal's wine authority, the IVDP - unlike Tawny and Colheita, it spends only a short time, typically around two years, in wood before being bottled unfiltered and left to mature further in the bottle for decades.

  Because the wine is unfiltered, it develops sediment over time, meaning it should be decanted before serving - a process that sets Vintage clearly apart from the other, more accessible Port styles.

  Dalva is the Port brand of the house C. da Silva, founded in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1933 by Clemente da Silva. Although the house is particularly known for its Colheita Ports, Dalva also declares Vintage in years when the grapes warrant it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense black fruit and chocolate, lifted by floral tones and black pepper.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and elegant, with firm, velvety tannins and a voluminous, fresh character.

  Finish

  Long, persistent finish with continued fruit depth.

  Investment Potential

  Vintage Port is declared only in the finest years and made for long-term ageing - a recognised vintage such as 2016 is among the most sought-after categories for Port collectors, precisely because production is limited to exceptional years.

  Did You Know?

  A vintage only officially becomes a "Vintage" Port once the house's assessment of its quality is approved by the IVDP - in most years, houses instead use the grapes for Tawny or Colheita, making every declared Vintage a deliberate bet on that year's exceptional quality.

  Grahams 2015 Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port Port Wine Portugal 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22264-102334

  High above the Douro river, where the terraces drop steeply toward the water, lies Quinta dos Malvedos, the estate that has been the heart of Graham's finest vintages since 1890.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos 2015 Vintage Port is a Portuguese single-quinta vintage Port from the Douro Valley, matured in oak casks and bottled at 20% from the 2015 harvest.

  Unlike Graham's classic Vintage Port, which blends grapes from several estates in an exceptional year, this bottle comes exclusively from Quinta dos Malvedos. The wine ferments briefly and then matures in cask before being bottled unfiltered, giving it the fullness and structure a true vintage Port is known for.

  Quinta dos Malvedos became part of Graham's in 1890 and is regarded today as one of the finest estates in the Douro Valley, with steep terraces facing the river. The estate is both the cornerstone of the house's vintage Ports and its single harvest tawny Ports.

  2015 was a year in which Graham's chose to release Malvedos as a standalone single-quinta vintage rather than folding it into the house's main vintage blend, giving the bottle a more direct, site-specific character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose shifts between fennel and wild rosemary with a hint of mint, moving toward ripe, dark berry fruit and a touch of violet.

  Palate

  The palate is intense and concentrated, with juicy blackberry and a touch of liquorice, carried by firm tannins layered with fresh, ripe fruit.

  Finish

  The finish is long and satisfying, closing dry and structured, where the firm tannins give way to a last glimpse of sweet fruit.

  Specifications

  Name: Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos 2015 Vintage Port

  Region-Country: Douro, Portugal
  Type: Vintage Port (single-quinta)
  ABV: 20%

  Ageing: Oak casks
  Vintage: 2015
  Serving suggestion: Serve at 16-18°C, ideally decanted, with dark chocolate or blue cheese

  Flavour Profile

  Intense · Berry · Structured · Complex

  Investment Potential

  As a genuine single-quinta vintage Port from a named estate, Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos 2015 is sought after by collectors interested in site-specific expressions rather than the house's larger, blended vintage bottlings. The wine's tannic structure also points to considerable further ageing potential.

  Did You Know?

  Quinta dos Malvedos sits on a prominent bend overlooking the Douro river and is regarded by many Douro experts as one of the most beautiful estates in the entire valley, as much for its setting as for the grapes grown on its steep terraces.

  Grahams 2022 Quinta Do Tua Vintage Port Portugal 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22264-15563

  At the confluence of the Tua and Douro rivers lies an estate with vines older than most of us. In 2022, it was allowed to stand alone on the label for the very first time.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Quinta do Tua 2022 Vintage Port is a Portuguese single-quinta vintage Port from the Douro Valley, matured in oak casks and bottled at 20% from the 2022 harvest.

  The wine is made from old, mixed vines, known in Portuguese as vinhas velhas, grown, harvested and vinified together rather than variety by variety. The method produces a complexity that is hard to achieve by blending single varieties afterwards, since the different grapes ripen and contribute to the must at the same time.

  Quinta do Tua sits where the river Tua meets the Douro and has long supplied grapes to Graham's other Ports. 2022 was the first time the house chose to release a standalone vintage Port exclusively from this estate, making the bottle a new addition to Graham's collection of single-quinta vintage Ports.

  The vines on Quinta do Tua behind this bottle are around 50 years old, giving grapes with low yield and high concentration, a key factor behind the wine's depth and structured tannins.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers an abundance of black and red berries, spiced with a touch of mango that lends an unexpected freshness.

  Palate

  The palate is bold and compact, with ripe, dark berries wrapped in peppery tannins that give the wine an impressive structure and considerable ageing potential.

  Finish

  The finish is long and dusty, with a mineral, almost graphite-like character that underlines the wine's depth and age-worthiness.

  Specifications

  Name: Graham's Quinta do Tua 2022 Vintage Port

  Ageing: Oak casks

  Serving suggestion: Serve at 16-18°C, ideally decanted, with dark chocolate or a strong cheese

  Flavour Profile

  Compact · Peppery · Mineral · Age-worthy

  Investment Potential

  As the first ever standalone vintage Port from Quinta do Tua, this bottle is of interest to collectors following Graham's expanding range of single-quinta releases. The old, mixed vines and the young vintage also point to significant potential for further ageing.

  Did You Know?

  The 2022 Quinta do Tua is the very first standalone vintage Port Graham's has ever released exclusively from this estate, made from grapes off roughly 50 year old mixed vines planted in the traditional field-blend style.

  Marthas Black Label Vintage Port 2016 Port Wine 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 059763-615-316-2

  Dark as night over the Douro Valley, with violets and blackcurrant breaking through, as if the wine has not yet decided to settle down.

  Expert's Description

  Martha's Black Label Vintage Port 2016 is a classic Vintage Port from the declared 2016 harvest in a 75 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 20%.

  Unlike LBV and Tawny, a Vintage Port is bottled unfiltered already in its second year of life, which gives it enormous ageing potential and means it should be decanted before serving.

  Martha's Wine & Spirits only declares a vintage in years when the grapes from the family's vineyards in Baixo Corgo reach a truly special ripeness and concentration, and 2016 was exactly such a year.

  Black Label Vintage Port 2016 has earned considerable recognition from international wine magazines and is regarded as one of the house's most important recent releases.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Opulent aromas of ripe, dark fruit and forest flowers, with a clear burst of violets and blackcurrant.

  Palate

  Fresh and intense with firm yet velvety tannins showing enormous potential, accompanied by a beautiful acidity.

  Finish

  Long, powerful finish where dark fruit and tannins continue to develop in the glass.

  Flavour Profile

  Blackcurrant · Violets · Dark fruit · Velvety tannins

  Investment Potential

  As a young but genuinely declared vintage year from a respected family house, Black Label Vintage Port 2016 belongs to the category port collectors often follow closely with a view to future bottle ageing. The potential is assessed as Medium, since the vintage is still relatively young and will only show its full potential after many more years of ageing.

  Did You Know?

  A house only declares a vintage in the very best years, and Black Label Vintage Port 2016 has received high scores from several respected international wine magazines.

  Marthas LBV Port 2019 Port Wine 75 cl 19%

  Item no.: 059763-615-31545

  2019 was a year when the Douro sun gave the grapes exactly the concentration needed to carry a whole bottle on its own – dark, juicy and ready to drink now.

  Expert's Description

  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

  Nose

  The nose offers violets, black-pepper-soaked plums and a hint of tanned leather.

  Palate

  The palate is powerful yet fresh, with a light green edge to the sweet black cherry and blackberry fruit, spiced with a touch of coffee.

  Finish

  The finish is medium-dry and lightly saline, giving a surprising, taut edge to the otherwise generous fruit.

  Specifications

  Name: Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage
  Winery: Quinta do Infantado
  Region/Country: Douro, Portugal
  Type: Vintage Port
  ABV: 19.5%
  Ageing: Brief cask ageing before bottle maturation
  Vintage: 2020
  Serving suggestion: Stand the bottle upright for a couple of hours before opening, serve at 16-17°C, ideally decanted

  Flavour Profile

  Black Cherry · Violet · Blackberry · Light Saline Finish

  Investment Potential

  The 2020 vintage from Quinta do Infantado has been highlighted by several international judgings, including gold at both the International Wine Challenge and the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Its powerful yet balanced style gives it natural potential to develop further over several years, making it relevant for anyone wanting to follow a vintage over time.

  Did You Know?

  Although Quinta do Infantado is now known for breaking with the large trading houses in Vila Nova de Gaia, the estate remains one of the smaller producers in the Douro Valley - the entire operation, from vineyard to bottle, runs on under 50 hectares, modest compared with the large Port houses.
