LAST CALL for the 20% OFF in the outstanding vintage ports from 2015

The vintage is the premium category in terms of port wines. This means that only the best grapes are used to produce this wines and if the harvest doesn’t show quality to be a vintage port, then the wine will be used for other categories such as the LBV, also ruby ports, or to be stocked and later released as a colheita port or to blend in an aged tawny port.

So if you see a vintage port in the market, it means that the harvest year was of exceptional quality and also that the wine is the best you can get from that brand in that specific vintage year.

Not all years are of vintage declaration and not all producers declare classic vintages even if the majority does it. The example is Niepoort and Ramos Pinto that declared as classic year the 2015 and the rest of the industry released just a single estate vintage. And then in 2016 the entire industry declared that year as classic vintage but Niepoort just released a single estate vintage while Ramos Pinto didn’t release a vintage port.

It all depends on the harvest quality and if the wines from each sub-region are balanced to blend in a classic vintage port. The 2015 is a good example, with the Douro Superior not showing the potential needed to compose the blends and with outstanding wines in the Baixo and Cima Corgo.

So the industry released the 2015 as single estate vintages. We, the consumer applauded that because the wines are great and at a lower price than if it was a classic vintage and the wine reviewers were unanimous in considering most of the wines as of great quality, with more than 90 points overall and some, such us the Niepoort, Taylors, Fonseca, Vesúvio and Alves de Sousa, reaching the mark of 95 to 96 points in Robert Parket, Roy Hersh or Wine Spectator.

We have the 2015 vintage ports with a discount opportunity of 20% and it will end during next week so for those who want a great vintage port at prices from €30 to €60, then the time is now to get it.
