Crafted by the esteemed Quinta do Infantado winery, this vintage Port is more than just a drink; it's an experience, a journey through time and tradition.

Sourced from the heart of the Douro Demarcated Region, this wine is a testament to the unique terroir and the careful selection of indigenous grape varieties, primarily Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão. These grapes, cultivated in the rugged, sun-drenched vineyards of the region, contribute to the wine's complex character and depth.

The Quinta do Infantado Vintage 2003 boasts a rich, deep ruby hue, hinting at the intense flavors within. On the nose, it unfolds with a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry, plum, and cherry, intertwined with subtle notes of chocolate, spice, and a touch of floral elegance. As you take your first sip, you'll be greeted by a luscious, full-bodied palate, where the fruity notes are amplified and complemented by velvety tannins and a warm, lingering finish. It is a sweet, flavorful, and perfectly balanced wine that leaves a lasting impression.

With an alcohol content of 20%, this vintage Port is best enjoyed when served slightly chilled, around 16°C. Before indulging, allow the wine to breathe for at least an hour to fully unlock its aromatic potential. The Quinta do Infantado Vintage 2003 is an exceptional accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Its rich, fruity character pairs beautifully with decadent desserts like dark chocolate cake, berry tarts, and creamy cheeses. It also complements savory dishes such as roasted duck, game meats, and rich stews.

Quinta do Infantado is known for its commitment to quality and tradition, producing wines that reflect the unique character of the Douro Valley. Owning a bottle of this wine is not just owning a beverage, but a piece of Portuguese history. Quinta do Infantado distinguishes itself by aging its ports in smaller barrels which result in a smoother style and that allows for more finesse. Additionally, they pioneered the concept of “grower Port”, meaning that they were the first house to grow and bottle their own wine instead of buying grapes from other farmers.
