The elegant nose combines fresh and concentrated aromas of black fruits and warm spices. The palate is well balanced with flavors of black cherries, supported by soft tannins and an intense, lingering finish.
Wine Advocate (90 Points):
"...Not quite the powerhouse, perhaps, that the 2017 was, this is still delightful because it is pure,
fresh and friendly. The fruit is aromatic and full of flavor, the modest sugar not getting in the way
much. This is a pleasure to drink and able to age a bit too. I'd drink it relatively young, though. I
love that fruit now. There may be complexity to come if you wait."
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.
