1964 Wine and Port Gift Suggestions
An introduction to the 1964 vintage and gift recommendations - by Andrew White.
A bottle of wine or Port from 1964 makes the perfect 60 year old wine gift, whether for a birthday or anniversary. The 1964 wine vintage was generally a good year for wine in many regions, particularly in Bordeaux, Italy (5 star vintage) and Spain (Rioja). Portugal produced some good Ports but these were overshadowed by the legendary 1963 and 1966 Vintages. It's important to note that wine quality can also depend on the specific producer, the vineyard, and how well the wine has been stored over the years. At Vintage Wine and Port we work to secure bottles with the best provenance.
Portugal (Port): The 1964 port vintage was a challenging year due to fluctuating weather conditions; a small amount of single quinta port was made but it is very rare. However, some truly excellent single harvest Colheitas were produced. The weather at the start of the year was unsettled, with rain and thunderstorms at the end of July followed by a hot, dry August which developed the vines. The hot weather continued throughout the season and into the harvest, when it began to fluctuate. The grapes harvested were more raisin than the winemakers would like and this is reflected in the small amounts of port produced.
Italian: The 1964 wine vintage in Italy was generally considered a very good year for Italian wines. While it might not be as universally renowned as some other vintages, like 1961 or 1971, it produced some fine wines, particularly in regions such as Piedmont and Tuscany.
Bordeaux: In Bordeaux, the red wines from the 1964 vintage were generally characterized by a lighter and more elegant style. They may not have the power, richness, or aging potential of some of the top vintages, but they can still offer pleasant drinking experiences.
