A MAGNIFICENT PORT WINE, BOTTLED IN CELEBRATION OF THE 300 YEARS OF THE FIFTH OF THE VALLADO
The Vallado ABF wine was bottled in 2016, in celebration of the 300 years of Quinta do Vallado. The name “ABF” is a tribute to the ancestor of the present owners of the farm, António Bernardo Ferreira I, who in 1818 bought Quinta do Vallado.
There were produced 933 copies of 75cl, numbered and packaged in a unique case of solid walnut wood. This case, designed specifically for this wine, also contains a crystal decanter produced in Portugal by Atlantis.
This magnificent Port Wine was produced by a small producer from Baixo Corgo, a neighbor of Quinta do Vallado, who has kept it with great care and affection since 1888 in three hulls of 650L. Due to the evaporation to which it was subjected during more than a century, the wine was reduced to approximately 700L, having remained in the original hulls, where it always aged.
The wine comes from pre-phylloxera vineyards, and was produced by the traditional system of walking on foot in wineries. It is an extremely rare wine, with exceptional qualities, and it can still live for many years.
VARIETIES: This wine was made from pre-phylloxera vineyards, as such comes from a mixture of typical varieties of the Douro region: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional, and many others.
STAGE: Trained throughout his life, for over 120 years, in wooden hooves of 650L capacity.
AROMA: This extraordinary Port Wine presents an extremely seductive color that reminds you of mahogany, with greenish glints when the glass is shaken, a clear and evident sign of the age of wine. The aroma is very complex and rich with numerous nuances of nuts (figs, plums), vinagrinho, iodine and spices, with a very fresh and harmonious finish.
PROOF: The mouth confirms and reaffirms the tremendous freshness promised by the nose. Although the wine is extremely rich, unctuous, concentrated and dense, it ends with an acidity that produces a perfect harmony and gives an explosive and endless mouth ending, it seems that the wine does not want to leave.
