Quinta do Javali, a family-owned estate in the heart of the Douro Valley, is celebrated for its artisanal approach to crafting exceptional Ports. This 10-Year Tawny showcases their dedication to traditional winemaking and the unique terroir of the region.
- WINEMAKER: António Mendes
- FARMING: Sustainable practices with a focus on preserving biodiversity in the Douro Valley.
- VARIETY: A traditional field blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão.
- TERROIR: Terraced vineyards on schist soils along the Douro River, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and cool winters.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes are foot-trodden in granite lagares. Fermentation is halted by the addition of neutral grape spirit to preserve natural sweetness.
- AGING: Aged for an average of 10 years in seasoned oak casks, allowing for oxidative aging that develops complex flavors and a velvety texture.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of dried fruits, caramel, and toasted nuts with subtle hints of orange zest and spice. The palate is rich and smooth, with layers of toffee, figs, and a touch of mocha, leading to a long, nutty finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect with salted almonds, creamy blue cheese, or classic Portuguese desserts like pastel de nata.
