Vieira de Sousa Vintage Port Wine, 2017

Vieira de Sousa Vintage Port Wine, 2017

Regular price $90.00

This Port is made from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, and others from 40 year old south-facing vineyards at the top of the estate. 2017 was unusually dry in the Douro, causing the grapes to ripen earlier, but nevertheless was an excellent harvest. It is concentrated and full of fresh fruit, with rich tannins and a robust finish. We would pair it with a dark chocolate tart.

Details

From the winery: We are a family business that has been producing Port Wine for five generations. Today, we are led by the fifth generation: Luisa and Maria Vieira de Sousa, but we have always kept in mind the teachings of Antonio Eduardo Vieira de Sousa Borges.

In the 19th century the brand was created by our great-great-grandfather José Silvério Vieira De Sousa.

Years after the brand was created, due to the devastation of the vineyards by phylloxera, the company went through a period of financial instability resulting from years of no production. It was at this time that José Ermelindo, our great-grandfather, found himself faced with the difficult decision of selling the brand in order to replant all the family vineyards and once again focus on the production, ageing and sale of Port wine by the barrel.

In 2008, with a new generation leading the company, Luísa, with the help of her father António, decided to invest again in the Port Wine bottling business. “Vieira de Sousa” acquired new warehouses and equipment, launching the family back into the Port Wine bottling business and, later, into Douro Wines.

All of our wines are produced with grapes from the family’s five estates, which occupy almost 60 hectares in the Douro Valley. The estates are located along the Douro River, which allows the company to produce different wines every year, always maintaining the quality.
