- With its wonderful intensity of colour, the 1996 vintage is full of floral aromas and rich, sweet fruits. The opulent palate explodes with fruit, complexity, and structure wrapped in a deep elegance, leading to an endless finish.
The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and vinified with careful maceration to ensure the desired level of colour, tannins, and pellicle aromas were extracted, complemented by pumping over during fermentation. This process occurred in vats at 28 to 30°C temperatures until reaching the desired Baumé. At this phase, grape brandy was added (benefit) to produce a fortified wine. Maturation lasted for two years in a combination
of used oak barrels and stainless-steel vats. This port is from a single harvest and is bottled between the second and third year after the harvest.
A rich and exuberant nose showing intense aromas of dried black plum jam and dates combined with violet overtones. Full-bodied on the palate, with silky tannins, the 2002 shows great opulence through a long and elegant finish.

| Winery | The 2002 vintage is a single Quinta Port from one of the great historical estates - Quinta Dona Matilde. This estate, originally named ‘Quinta do Enxodreiro’, was owned by Manuel Moreira de Barros from 1927 and, over that time, was regenerated – and renamed in honour of his wife Matilde - before being repurchased by the original family when Barros was sold to Sogevinus in 2006. The Quinta is located beside the winding road between Régua and Pinhão, alongside the Douro River; the farm was recorded and made famous in the legendary maps of Barão de Forrester, who mapped out the best Douro estates in the 1800s. The vines are planted along the lines of the greatest slopes on the so-called 'Vinha ao Alto', vertically planted vines. The vines are hand-harvested |
