Quinta do Pégo Port LBV 2015 - 750ml

It is a wonderful Vintage Port of the very best quality. Thanks to the perfect weather conditions, Vintage 2015 has obtained a perfect balance combining “rusticity and power” with “elegance and delicacy”. It has a deep purple colour, delicate and complex aromas of ripe fruits with floral notes such as violets and spices, full-bodied and well balanced taste with firm but silky tannins and a long, persistent and very nice finish.

It is said that Vintage Port is drinkable after 4-5 years, but only really enjoyable after 15-20 years. This Vintage Port can easily be enjoyed young, but will also develop positively for many years to come.

Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão

This port ought to be served chilled and is perfect as an ”after-dinner-drink” or together with strong cheese, chocolate and desserts, but it is also perfect on its own.

Quinta do Pégo is a vineyard situated on the way from Régua to Pinhão - approximately 3 km before Pinhão on the right hand - in the Douro Valley in Portugal. Quinta do Pégo is situated 138 m. above the surface of the Douro River and the vineyards are situated up to 350 m. above the surface of the Douro River. Without doubt it is one of the most beautifully situated quintas in the Douro Valley. Since January 2000, Quinta do Pégo has been owned 50% by AMKA and since September 2003 Quinta do Pégo has been owned 100% by AMKA who is in charge of the whole project. Quinta do Pégo owns an area of approximately 33 hectares - approximately 30 hectares are planted with vines. The land is classified in group A, which is the absolute best group.

This port has been produced by Rozès’ winemaker Manuel Henrique and consultant Wouter Pienaar. The grapes for the port (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão) come from the old vines, which were on the quinta’s vineyards, when the present owner took over the quinta.

The Quinta do Pégo project includes - besides of course production of some of the finest and best ports - a total renovation af the old buildings and building of a number of guest rooms on the quinta. After this total renovation, in spring 2009, Quinta do Pégo opened in a totally new shape with hotel. Quinta do Pégo is one of the most beautiful quintas in the Douro Valley - and Hotel Rural Quinta do Pégo is certainly worth a visit.
