The entire zone has good drainage, high fertility, and tremendous agricultural aptitude, especially for red grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and others. The Mediterranean climate has warm summers with broad daily oscillations between daytime and night time temperatures, and cold, rainy winters that allow for good vine development. The soils are of alluvial origin with moderate depth, and good for agriculture. The grapes were hand picked in mid- April and submitted to a week-long pre-fermentation cold soak at 8ºC (46ºF) to extract fresh fruit characteristics. Alcoholic fermentation took place at 25º–28ºC with daily pump-overs. The new wine remained on its skins for a period, after which the free run wine was separated from its skins and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. Part of this wine was aged in oak barrels for 6 months and later reblended to achieve a more complex character.Suitable for Vegetarians and VegansThis wine is Organic.
A deep garnet red colour with aromas of fresh red and black fruit. On the palate the richness of the tannins harmonises with the fleshy notes of the wine.The finish has good grip and it is long with spices, menthol and chocolate.

Torto valley. Quality is determined by the grape varieties, by the age of the vines, their method of
training and the density of planting. All these factors are officially converted into points, the sum of
which determines the final classification of the property. Here, this sum exceeds 1200 points, ensuring
it belongs to a select group of "Class A" properties. Vintage 2011 was so widely declared because
of the exceptional weather conditions which
differed quite dramatically from the rest of
Europe. A wet Autumn in 2010 left subsoils
nicely damp and able to cope with the near
drought conditions that ensued in the first half
of 2011, then a cool summer helped to
maintain freshness and avoid any overly dry,
raisiny characteristics. Some welcome splashes
of rain at the end of August and early
September helped to ripen tannins (and bring
them back in line with sugar levels) then the
dry days and cool nights that followed provided
perfect picking conditions. The result is a
superb single Quinta Port from the excellent
and early drinking 2011 vintage.
