Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2017 – 3 liter impressive vintage port from Douro

Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2017 in a 3 liter bottle is an impressive port from the heart of the Douro Valley in Portugal. This large bottle makes it perfect for special events, collectors or as an exclusive gift for port lovers. Vintage port represents the pinnacle of quality in the world of port, and the 2017 vintage is considered one of the strongest in recent times.

The wine is made from carefully selected grapes from the 2017 harvest, grown in Quinta do Pego’s A-rated vineyards on the left bank of the Douro River. The steep terraces and slatey soil provide optimal conditions for grapes with great concentration, intense aroma and great structure.

The blend consists of classic Port grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão. The combination produces a wine with deep fruit, powerful tannins and a vibrant acidity that ensures both balance and great ageing potential. Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2017 is a wine with both strength and elegance and can develop in the bottle for many decades.

The large 3 liter bottle also makes aging even more stable and slow. This means the wine can develop even greater complexity over time.
