Description

This Vieira de Sousa Port only comes from the year 1950. This Port is a very special wine as we bottled it to celebrate our mother's 70th birthday in 2020. It is a fantastic example of aged Tawny Port.

winemaking

The year 1950 was characterized by a severe winter and a rainy summer. Due to these conditions, the harvest was delayed, but proceeded in perfect condition. This wine fermented in the family's old mills. After fortification with wine brandy, the wine aged in barrels and barrels.

Test results

Beautiful brown color with a brown rim and a hint of green - characteristics of an old Tawny Port. On the nose, a wine from another era, but very alive. This wine is of exceptional quality, with high aromatic complexity, concentration, balance and a long finish.
