Remarkably ruby rich colour still, and the nose is walnuts, straw and wonderfully mellow notes, leaf tea and a touch of bracken and old polished wood. Fabulous palate, glycerine rich and super sweet, with masses of currant and such intense black cherry such fabulous sweetness, thickness and lusciousness. Superb 40 year old - it is the freshness and vitality that is gorgous in a 40-year-old. Intense.

About this wine
Quinta da Romaneira is a renowned producer of high-quality wines and spirits, with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Located in the heart of the Douro Valley in Portugal, the estate boasts a stunning landscape of terraced vineyards and olive groves, which have been carefully tended to by generations of skilled winemakers.
One of the most notable products of Quinta da Romaneira is their 40-year Tawny Port, a luxurious fortified wine that has been aged to perfection in oak barrels. This wine is made from a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, which are carefully selected and harvested by hand.
The production process for this Tawny Port is a meticulous one, with each step carefully monitored to ensure the highest quality. After the grapes are harvested, they are crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, before being transferred to oak barrels for aging. The wine is then aged for 40 years, during which time it develops a rich, complex flavour profile, with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and spices.
Quinta da Romaneira's 40-year Tawny Port is a perfect example of the estate's commitment to producing exceptional wines and spirits. With its rich history, stunning location, and dedication to quality, it is no wonder that Quinta da Romaneira is a highly sought-after producer in the world of wine and spirits.
