Bodegas Martínez Gassiot presents Vintage 1998 Quinta da Eira Velha Port Wine, fermented in oak barrels, with D.O.C Porto, made from the grapes Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional, five of Portugal's main indigenous grape varieties.
Quinta da Eira Velha 1998 has been aged for 24 months, giving it great complexity with toasted notes. It is ideal to enjoy with chocolate and caramel desserts at a temperature between 14 and 18 ºC.
Vintage 1998 Quinta da Eira Velha Port Wine has a unique design. It was made exclusively from grapes harvested in 1998 at Quinta da Eira Velha, a estate founded in the 18th century and until the year 2000, a centenary company of Hispanic-English origin.
Port Wine originates from the Douro Valley, a river that originates in Spain and flows into the Atlantic Ocean, near the city of Oporto, which gives its name to its wines.
In this mountainous area, in some places even inhospitable, but at the same time of a very unique beauty, surrounded by huge masses of granite, it is almost a miracle that quality wines are produced, which has been happening at least since the Roman occupation.
The region was originally delimited by the Marquis of Pombal between 1758 and 1761, anticipating the delimitation of Bordeaux by almost 100 years. It is divided into three zones: Upper Douro, Cima Corgo, and Bajo Corgo.
