Winemaking:
Quinta do Panascal is a substantial Grade A property located in the heart of the Távora valley, in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro. The Quinta undertook an ambitious planting programme from 1987-1995 and is now one of the largest Quintas in the Douro valley, producing top quality port. A Quinta do Panascal Vintage port is produced only when a general Fonseca declaration is not made, as this wine forms the backbone of a Fonseca Vintage port blend. The decision to bottle a Quinta do Panascal vintage is taken when the wine is judged to be of exceptional quality. Like a Fonseca vintage port the wine spends two years ageing in wooden casks before being bottled. However, the wine is not released immediately after it is bottled but left to mature in Fonseca’s cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia until it is ready for drinking; normally ten years after the harvest.

Grape Varieties:
Old Vines

Tasting Notes:
Ripe black cherry, damson and clove spice aromas. Luscious, ripe, velvety, with ripe plum and strawberry, fine tannins.

Store and Serve Advices:
Should be opened two hours before serving and decanted. Serve between 17º and 18º C. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dry and dark place.

Food Pairing:
Vintage Ports are after meal drinks. Take them with cheese like Stilton or Gorgonzola. But you can also incorporate them into a meal, combining for instance a Steak au Poivre with a young Vintage.

Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
