The Quinta Do Vallado 10 year-old Tawny is rich, nutty aromas are a blend of dried fruit, praline and orange confit, with notes of tobacco. The palate is voluptuous and velvety with a complex finish.

Decanter Magazine (94 Points):

"A complex weave of fig, date, almond and earthy aromas, reinforced and well-matched on the long and complex palate. A delightful marriage between textural quality and sweetness."

James Suckling (93 Points):

"Pretty aromas of dried berries, cedar and candied orange peel follow through to a medium body and a very sweet palate, with oranges, plums and a nutty undertone such as peanuts. Very fresh and sweet. Tastes older than 10 years and in a very good way!"

Over the course of 300+ years, since 1716, Quinta do Vallado has been producing excellent wines in Portugal’s Douro Valley. It is one of the oldest and most famous wineries in all the Douro, started by the legendary Doña Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, and still belongs to the same family today. It is a sixth-generation winery, currently owned by João Ferreira Alvares Ribeiro and Francisco Ferreira. The estate produced Port wines exclusively, until the 1990’s when it expanded production into dry wines.

Vallado has 250 acres of its own vineyards in two sub-regions of the Douro. They are comprised 100-year-old field blend vines, single variety plots and certified organic vineyards. The terraced vineyards are hand-harvested with one row of vines trained to a double cordon trellising system, allowing for good drainage, air flow and erosion control.

Quinta do Vallado built a state-of-the-art winery in 2009, along with an ultra-modern hotel, which was completed in 2015. These upgrades solidified the Douro Valley as a world-class tourism destination. The winery was recently named as one of the top 100 vineyards in the world and one of Wine & Spirits Top 100 producers of 2021. And in 2020, Decanter magazine bestowed the honor of one of the wines of the year to the 2019 Vallado Prima.
