QUINTA DOS CANAIS
Our back garden in a bottle
Our Vintage Port ‘declarations’ are few and far between. But in the intervening years, our favourite vineyards from our home at Quinta dos Canais consistently produce a remarkable yield. And we believe that deserves to be celebrated in its own right. This Vintage Port flaunts the flavours from our home.

Tasting notes
QUINTA DOS CANAIS
2014
Inky purple, almost black in colour. The initial nose is of violets and roses typical of the Touriga Nacional grape. The palate is well structured with an excellent balance, underscored by the fresh acidity and the ‘grip’ provided by the peppery tannins.
