A great Malvedos with typical minty aomas and undertones of cacao and berry fruits. The mouth has a firm tannic structure and succulent blackberry flavours. A bold, powerful wine promising many years in bottle. A true Malvedos thoroughbred.

The Story

The extraordinary quality of the wines from the Malvedos vineyard is such that in Vintage declarations these wines provide the main structure of Graham’s classic Vintage Ports. In most interim years, the wines from Malvedos merit bottling as a Single Quinta Vintage Port: Graham’s Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port.

Wine Information

Written Notes

The 2019 Quinta do Malvedos has a crisper, perhaps slightly more angular nose compared to the Quinta dos Canais. Dark fruit, blackberry, bilberry, clove and crushed iris scents vying for attention.

I suspect this will benefit from 4-6 years in the cellar.
