The Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Port is one of the remarkable wines in the estate's aged Port range. The "10 Year Old" designation results from a blend of carefully selected Ports matured in the finest oak casks, showcasing the character and average age corresponding to a 10-year-old Tawny.
The aged Tawnies from Quinta das Carvalhas are blends made from the estate's stock of Ports, aged in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. This 10-Year-Old Port blend was crafted from a selection of wines aged in oak casks, as well as smaller barrels and vats.
Its base is partly made up of the previous 10-year-old blend, complemented by a selection of Ports aged around 10 years. To add greater complexity and depth to the tasting, a small percentage of Ports aged over 25 years is included, balanced by the use of younger wines.
The result is a blend that combines freshness and youthfulness with ageing nuances and great complexity.
