This exceptional product is the Port Institute’s choice to represent Portugal globally at state events!
In exceptional years, as in 2011, Quinta do Sagrado presents its vintage, from a large variety of high quality grapes from the property which are trod by foot in granite lagares. 2700 bottles were bottled. 2011 was a fantasic year for port production. Decanter magazine’s port guide says that it is one to keep stating that it 2011 was ‘Universally declared, outstanding wines with poise and finesse that will keep for life. Approach from 2025.’ With careful aging, so laying down and away from any light and temperature variations this port should keep up to 50 years and would be expected to increase in value.
It is a rich and fruity vintage with hints of spice notes and powerful flavours. Fresh, intense and delicious aroma of black cherry and wild blackberry. Slightly floral, spicy with a mineral touch. Elegant on the palate, excellent structure and volume with fine tannins and great concentration.
