Porto Warre's Vinhas Velhas Vintage 2020 75cl
225,00 €
With individual wooden box
Warre's 2020 Vinhas Velhas Vintage Port is produced exclusively from 80 to 100 year old horse-cultivated mixed vines on two of Warre's properties: Quinta da Cavadinha (53%) and Quinta do Retiro (47%).
These magnificent old vines produced just 380g per vine in Cavadinha and 240g per vine in Retiro. It took three vineyards to produce one bottle of this Vintage Port – normally it only requires one vineyard. The cooler appearance of these two estates was of great benefit in 2020 and the old vines proved incredibly resilient.

Description
For 350 years, Warre's has been a pioneer in the Port wine trade, from winery advancements to viticultural research. It was one of the first Port wine houses to build an inn in Vila Nova de Gaia in the 18th century, where – even today – its wines age undisturbed until the moment of bottling.
This pioneering spirit, combined with a deep respect for heritage and tradition, forms a unique combination that places Warre's firmly at the center of the history of the Port trade as it celebrates its 350th anniversary.
Warre's is synonymous with the history of the English in Porto. Not only did William Warre serve as British Consul in Porto, but his famous descendant (another William Warre) fought as an officer in the Peninsular War against Napoleon under the command of the Duke of Wellington, whom he also kept supplied with Port Wine. The Symington family, 5th generation Port wine producers, have run Warre's for over 100 years and continue to drive it forward today.
