Taylor’s Quinta de Terra Feita Vintage 2008 – Exclusive Single Quinta Vintage Port from Douro

Taylor’s Quinta de Terra Feita Vintage 2008 is an impressive vintage port for collectors, connoisseurs and anyone who loves great port experiences. This wine comes from one of the most famous vineyards in the Douro Valley. The result is an intense and characterful port with great depth, structure and enormous ageing potential.

Vintage port from a single quinta is always special. Taylor’s only releases these wines in years when the house does not declare a classic vintage. The best casks from the famous estate are selected and bottled as a Single Quinta Vintage Port. This is why these bottles are sought after by collectors and Port lovers.

Quinta de Terra Feita is located on the steep slopes above the famous Pinhão Valley. The area is known for its unique terroir and dramatic landscape. It produces grapes with intense concentration and great aromatic depth. The combination of old vines, warm days and cool nights produces wines with both power and elegance.

The 2008 vintage clearly shows the character of the vineyard. The wine is rich, concentrated and at the same time elegant. It can be enjoyed now, but it is also made for many years of cellaring. Over time, it will develop even greater complexity and finesse.
