Dona Matilde 2017 Vintage Port

PRODUCER INFO
  • The estate or “quinta” has been in the same family for four generations.
  • In his authoritative book, Portugal, Antigo e Moderno, Augusto Leal wrote “the wine of this quinta is very fine, despite its cultivation seeming to be very expensive owing to the steepness of the terrain and its composition of schist rock”.
  • Located on the north bank of the Douro River, near Bagaúste dam, the quinta has 28 hectares of top quality vineyards, all classified with the highest ranking by the Douro region register, Letter A. Dona Matilde has traditional old vineyards of the Douro, aged 60 to 80 years old.
