    • Description

    The Quinta da Devesa 20-Year-Old Tawny Port is a distinguished fortified wine from Portugal's Douro Valley, reflecting the estate's dedication to traditional winemaking and sustainable viticulture. Crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, this tawny port is aged in oak casks for an average of 20 years, resulting in a complex and refined profile.

    In the glass, it exhibits a clear, amber hue with copper reflections. The nose is rich and layered, offering aromas of cherries, liquorice, dried fruits, and spices. On the palate, it is elegant and velvety, with flavors of caramelized red fruits, dried fruits, and confit orange peel, culminating in a long, smooth finish.

    This tawny port is best served slightly chilled, between 15°C and 16°C, and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including cheese plates, light pastry desserts, and even as an after-dinner digestif. Once opened, it maintains its quality for several months when stored properly, making it a versatile addition to any wine collection.

    The Quinta da Devesa 20-Year-Old Tawny Port stands as a testament to the potential of aged tawny ports, offering a harmonious balance of freshness and complexity that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

    A historic vineyard, Quinta da Devesa was already included as a quality grape growing plot in the first map of the Douro Demarcated Region. The most important history of the property began in 1941 when Jose Fortunato Junior and his wife, Antonia Soares Fortunato acquired Quinta da Devesa and decided to pour their lifetime passion for port wine into the property through great investment in port and, later, dry wine production. Over seventy years later, harvests of superior quality have been kept and stored in wooden casks in the winery cellars. These are used today to produce the famed tawny and aged white port blends alongside some exceptional colheita ports dating back to 1944.

    ***93 Points - Mark Squires- eRobertParker***
    The NV 20 Year Old Tawny Porto was bottled in 2017 with a bar-top cork and 117 grams of sugar. Richer than the 10, of course, this is in the same ballpark in style, emphasizing age and complexity, not big fruit. I loved the complex medley of flavors and the power. This eschews fruitiness, mostly, which some will prefer more than others. I thought this was pretty fine—it gives you the old tawny feel without having to trade up to an older tawny.
