What - Fortified Wine - Port - Touriga Franca, Touriga National, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca & others

Quinta do Vale Meão is a rare thing, a family owned independent Port producer, using just their own grapes grown on a single continuous estate, founded in 1877 by Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira. Today it is owned and run by her great-great-grandson, and focuses on expressing the terroir of the wild, upper reaches of the Douro valley in their wines and on quality above all.

This 10 year old Tawny is delicious, subtle, and has a beautifully balanced level of sweetness. Made from traditional varieties growing on old-vine estate vineyards and matured for ten years in barrel.
