Vintage 2007 Quinta da Galeira: plums and cassis, round and balanced.
Tasting note
Beautiful dark red-purple. A complex floral and fruity aroma with hints of plum and cassis. Intense and round on the palate, well balanced, with discreet tannins and a long, fruity blackcurrant finish.
The story
A Vintage Port is made only from the best wines of a single exceptional year. After about two years in cask it is bottled and continues to age in bottle, unlike a Late Bottled Vintage, which stays longer in cask.
Food pairing
Delicious with foie gras, chocolate and blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola and Roquefort, or as a dessert wine, perhaps with a cigar.
The producer
Barros was founded in 1913 in Vila Nova de Gaia by Manuel de Almeida, under the name Almeida & Ca. Soon afterwards Manuel Moreira de Barros became a partner, and in 1920 the firm became Barros, Almeida & Ca. It is a Port house with an entirely Portuguese history.
Today Barros is part of the Sogevinus group, alongside Kopke, Cálem and Burmester among others. The house is best known for its Colheitas, tawnies from a single harvest.
