Description
The *1958 Avery Vintage Port* is a rare and distinguished fortified wine from a year prized by collectors for its elegance and longevity. Bottled under the Avery label—renowned UK wine merchants with a long tradition of sourcing exceptional Ports from top Douro producers—this vintage captures the charm and refinement of mid-20th century Port winemaking. With more than six decades of bottle ageing, it has reached a point of remarkable complexity, offering a drinking experience steeped in history.
In the glass, it would present a deep tawny-amber core with olive-green highlights at the rim, a visual signature of an ancient Vintage Port. The nose is rich and evocative, revealing layers of dried fig, sultana, and date, intertwined with notes of caramel, roasted walnut, and molasses. Secondary aromas of cedar, leather, sweet spice, and dark cocoa emerge as the wine breathes, speaking to its long, graceful evolution.
On the palate, the *1958 Avery Vintage Port* is silky and harmonious, with sweetness beautifully integrated into its structure. Flavours of toffee, candied orange peel, and spiced plum are complemented by hints of coffee bean, almond, and a subtle savoury depth from its extended maturation. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, leaving lingering impressions of dried fruit and fine wood.
This *1958 Avery Vintage Port* is more than just a bottle of wine—it is a rare connection to a bygone era of Port production. Ideal for marking a milestone celebration, presenting as a prestigious gift, or adding to a serious wine collection, it offers the chance to savour over 65 years of Douro heritage in every sip.
