Award tasting note
"Light mahogany with wide lemon rim, raisin dated and tangerine on the rich, warm nose, generous, profound but stylish on the palate with rich supple fruit and a flossy texture, savour & deep with lovely fleshing finish".

Serving & Food Pairing
Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline. …

Quinta Cachao Vintage Port
Messias Library Release

The 1966 vintage in the Douro was marked by classic conditions — a balanced growing season that allowed for full physiological ripeness without excessive heat. In the mid-20th century, producers like Messias focussed on traditional, patiently crafted Ports, favouring extended cask ageing and careful bottle evolution. Quinta do Cachão, perched on steep schist terraces in the Cima Corgo, has long been respected for its well-structured, expressive Ports, and this 1966 Vintage is a distinguished example of that era’s style: balanced, quietly powerful and beautifully aged.

Tasting Notes:
Now a deep amber-ruby with tawny reflections at the rim, the bouquet is richly evolved and multilayered. …

Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port

Quinta de Vargellas is one of the Douro Valley’s most iconic vineyards and the historic backbone of Taylor Fladgate. Located in the remote eastern Douro, its steep, schist terraces produce wines of precision, structure, and longevity. In years when a full vintage is not declared—such as 1965—the estate’s best fruit is bottled as a single-quinta vintage, offering a purer expression of site.

Vargellas Ports are typically more linear, aromatic, and finely structured than the broader Taylor style, with hallmark notes of wild herbs, floral lift, and mineral tension. Over time, they evolve with remarkable grace, making older examples like 1965 compelling not for sheer power, but for their complexity, balance, and sense of place. …

Quinta do Noval Nacional- Vintage Port.

1964 Quinta do Noval Nacional is undoubtedly one of the most legendary fortified wines in the world. It is produced from a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines that have remained untouched by Phylloxera

"Palish red-brown. Currant, fresh herbs, coffee and mellow wood tones on the slightly shallow, evolved nose. Offers an attractive mid-palate sweetness but comes across as quite light, finishing with slightly drying tannins and a sugary, caramel-like quality. Faded with air. "This has been on a plateau for the last 20 years," noted Seely. I'd drink it over the next ten years. …
