    • Vinification

      As usual, we have made a rigorous selection of the best batches of wines from different parcels of Quinta do Passadouro. This year's blend is made up of three different lots from the Pinhão valley. Grapes are trodden by foot to obtain the must, then they macerate in the lagares, the traditional stone vats from the Quinta, to ensure the best possible extraction of aromas, colour and tannins during fermentation.

      In the case of 2022, the selection of 550 cases of 12 bottles represents 5% of the production.

    • Maturing

      The wine is matured for 18 months in wooden casks, before bottling.

    • Tasting notes

      This Quinta do Passadouro Vintage Port showcases a profound colour. Its aromas are elegantly concentrated, marrying black fruits with spicy and fresh notes, with intense floral characteristics. On the palate, it delivers a smooth mouthfeel, impeccably balanced by fine tannins and excellent acidity. Its finish is long, with dark chocolate flavours. A stunning wine that is a testament to Passadouro's terroir.
      Carlos Agrellos, Technical Director (April 2024)
