Single Quinta Vintage Ports are made in a similar way to other Vintage Ports in that they’re bottled, without filtration, after a couple or so years in barrel and continue to mature in bottle from there. They will have a sediment and so should be decanted before drinking.

This Port shows Warre’s hallmark floral nose, accentuated by the high proportion of Touriga Franca in the blend, a variety associated with rose aromas and violet scents. This Port is a worthy example of Warre’s subtle, elegant style, approachable when young, but with the potential to age for decades.An excellent dessert wine to enjoy on its own or with chocolate desserts. A very good match with blue cheeses and terrific with mature hard cheeses.

Warre’s Quinta da Cavadinha is one of the finest vineyard estates in the Douro and produces outstanding wines that are used to make Warre’s Classic Vintage Port. Store the bottle horizontally, ideally in a cool place with a constant temperature. Decant before serving, ideally a few hours beforehand.

Spirits

In ‘declared’ years, the wines of Quinta da Cavadinha are an important component of Warre’s Vintage Port. In years between declarations, the wines from Cavadinha are often released as a Vintage Port solely from this property. These wines show a recognisable provenance, directly reflecting the vineyard’s cooler ripening cycle defined by its altitude and relatively sheltered aspect, which produce fragrant, fresh and very elegant wines. These characteristics were advantageous in the hot and dry conditions experienced through the 2005 growth and maturation stages. The altitude and aspect of the Cavadinha vineyard once again proved their worth in sustaining the vines through the hot, dry summer. Decant before serving, ideally a few hours beforehand. An excellent dessert wine to enjoy on its own or with chocolate desserts. A very good match with blue cheeses.
