Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2016

Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2016 is a great and classic Vintage Port from one of the most legendary years in recent Port history. 2016 is widely regarded as an exceptional Vintage year in the Douro and this wine shows impressive intensity, structure and elegance – made for both enjoyment and long ageing.

The grapes come from Quinta do Pégo’s steep terraces in the heart of the Douro Valley, where old vines and slatey soils produce low yields and extreme concentration. The result is a Port with enormous depth and a perfect balance of fruit, sweetness and tannin.

The wine is bottled young to preserve its powerful fruit and ageing potential. It can be drunk now after decanting, but will develop beautifully over several decades in the cellar.

Tasting notes

The color is dense, dark ruby with an almost black core. The nose offers intense aromas of sun-ripened blackberries, black cherries and plums, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, licorice and spices. The palate is deep and concentrated with massive fruit, firm tannins and a nicely integrated sweetness. The aftertaste is very long, powerful and harmonious with great ageing potential.
