Quevedo - 2009 - Colheita White Port

Sale price€45,00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


All the house grapes are picked by hand in small boxes and then brought to the cellar. Picking only takes place in the cool morning hours and after destemming, the grapes are trodden in the knee-high lagares (granite vats) in the evening.

When the desired sweetness/dryness is reached, alcohol is poured into the still fermenting must. This stops fermentation and brings the alcohol content up to the desired 18-20%.


The complexity of this port wine is a true delight, showing a depth of flavor that is both alluring and satisfying. The finish is short but memorable, ending with a return to the initial notes of candied fruit and decadent caramel, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.

Quevedo

The feeling of optimism and the word of passion are carved into the Quevedo family, who have been grape growers and port producers for 5 generations. Despite trying times, Oscar Sr. found the brand Quevedo in 1993, which started a new era for the family, since they could bottle port under their own label. While this was great news for the family, as the upcoming generation, Claudia and Oscar Jr. had very different career paths in mind. Claudia fell in love with wine since her youth and she wanted to be a winemaker, even though her parents were skeptical about it. After completing her studies at Vila Real she joined Oscar Sr. in 1999 as a winemaker and ensured that the business had a future in the family.
