Vista Alegre Tawny 40 years

Vista Alegre Tawny 40 years is a magnificent expression of time and craftsmanship.

Made by renowned house Quinta da Vista Alegre, this port offers a unique and refined drinking experience that embodies the true essence of aged Tawny Port.

Tasting note

Nose

The nose opens with an explosion of dried fruits, including figs, sultanas and dates, accompanied by notes of toasted nuts and orange peel. Hints of aged balsamic, candied cherries and spicy vanilla are subtly complemented by nuances of cedar and caramel.

Taste

On the palate, this 40-year-old Tawny offers a wonderful balance between sweetness and lively acidity. Flavours of roasted almonds, toffee and dark roasted coffee beans fill the palate, followed by an elegant touch of clove and cinnamon. The texture is silky, almost creamy, with an impressive depth that continues to develop.

Finish

The finish is long, warm and lush, with a wonderful evolution from rich toffee and dried fruit to subtle wood tones and a hint of spice. A lingering, velvety elegance that lingers for minutes.
