Vasques de Carvalho Century Box

€ 999.00

A great gift with 4 outstanding portwines !

A family as deep-rooted in the Douro as its vines, whose members had never asserted themselves before as Port producers, now shows us the quality of its wines. The need to differentiate their ports motivated Rita Rivotti to create a timeless and unifying image that combines power and finesse.

The Vasques de Carvalho brand is living proof of a great role reversal, of a rising talent that used to be shadowed by the light of others, but which today stands head to head with its competitors, bringing a strong concept and wines of outstanding quality.

Food-Pairing

a perfect match to sweet pastries, such as apple pie with cinnamon, as well a delicacy with strong cheeses and dark chocolate, or just on his own at the end of a meal

Grapes: Tinta Barocca, Touriga Francesa, Touriga Nacional

Aged between 25 and 135 years’ old and boy does it show!

Winemaker Jaime Costa is in charge of the portfolio. Having worked for 16 years at Burmester, the former Revista de Vinhos Fortified Winemaker of the Year 2005 is plainly thrilled once again to have such fine and rare aged Port wines at his disposal. And his timing is good. The recent spate of headline grabbing, luxury-priced Very Old Tawny Ports means that Tawny Ports are, at last, having their day in the sun
