Two or three times a decade, Warre's judge that their wines are of such outstanding quality that they merit consideration to be 'declared' a vintage. When such a wine becomes available it is sure to be a leader in its field. Warre's principal objective is to produce a vintage Port that continues the same superb reputation created by the great Warre's vintages of previous generations. Wines of this quality are made using the traditional treading techniques that have not changed in 2000 years, producing wines with intense colour and flavour. Selected from a number of top quality vineyards, including Warre's own Quinta da Cavadinha, the company's Vintage Port is aged in wooden cask for 18 months before being bottled unfiltered using a normal driven cork. Warre Vintage Port is produced for long aging in the bottle and therefore should always be stored lying down and decanted prior to serving. For more information on all aspects of Vintage Port including purchasing, decanting and serving please visit The Vintage Port Site. In good but non-declared years Single Quinta Vintage Ports are produced and bottled in the same way as true Vintage Port. During the 20th century, Warre's produced just 27 Vintage Ports. To compare current vintages with older ones, please view the vintage chart. |
