Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2017 – 6 liter impressive vintage port from Douro

Quinta do Pégo Vintage Port 2017 in the spectacular 6 liter bottle is a port wine made for special moments. This impressive size makes it a collector’s item and an ideal choice for special events where only the best is good enough. Vintage port is the most prestigious category in port, and the 2017 vintage is considered among the best in recent times.

The wine is made from carefully selected grapes from the 2017 harvest in Quinta do Pego’s A-classified vineyards. These vineyards are located on the left bank of the Douro River in the Douro Valley, where steep terraces and slatey soils provide perfect conditions for grapes with intense aroma and great concentration.

The blend consists of classic Port grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão. The combination produces a powerful port with deep fruit, strong tannins and a nice acidity. The result is a wine with great volume in the mouth, impressive structure and enormous ageing potential.

The large 6 liter bottle also provides optimal conditions for slow maturation. This means the wine can develop even greater complexity and elegance over many decades.
