Description

Discover the timeless elegance of the Quinta de la Rosa Vintage Port 1997, a true gem from one of the Douro Valley’s most respected family-owned estates. Crafted in an exceptional vintage year, this port captures the essence of tradition and expertise that has made Quinta de la Rosa renowned among connoisseurs worldwide. Each bottle tells a story of dedication, passion, and the unique character of the Douro’s steep, sun-drenched vineyards.

The 1997 vintage stands out as one of the finest of the decade, with ideal weather conditions delivering grapes of extraordinary quality and concentration. This is a vintage port that beautifully balances power and finesse, offering a drinking experience that is both rich and refined. Over two decades of careful aging have allowed its bold fruit to mellow into a sophisticated symphony of aromas and flavors.

In the glass, this port reveals deep, inky ruby tones with hints of garnet at the edge — a visual promise of the depth to come. Aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries unfold, interwoven with seductive notes of violet, licorice, and exotic spice. Each sip is luxuriously smooth and full-bodied, with layers of chocolate, fig, and subtle earthy undertones leading to a long, elegant finish.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply looking for a special bottle to mark an occasion, the Quinta de la Rosa 1997 is a superb choice. Its generous structure and balanced acidity ensure that it can be enjoyed now at its peak or laid down for further development over the next decade. This is a wine that commands attention and rewards every moment of contemplation.

Perfect alongside strong cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, or enjoyed alone as a luxurious after-dinner indulgence, this vintage port brings warmth and sophistication to any gathering. Treat yourself or gift it to someone special — the Quinta de la Rosa Vintage Port 1997 is a celebration of craftsmanship and a testament to the Douro’s enduring magic.
