The must is then fermented by wild yeasts at temperatures ranging from 20-25°C, and spirit is then added at the appropriate time to stop fermentation. At the end of the maceration the ferments are drained, pressed, and transferred to old port casks to undergo maturation, before eventual blending and bottling. As with all ports, blending is the key and we use a variety of aged parcels, with different levels of sweetness and acidity including a small proportion of some really old barrels (at least 40 years old). The aim is to deliver an elegant, complex Ten-Year-Old Tawny style where the sweetness takes a back seat and the Pedra Alta acidity provides the focus. This is the first Ten-Year-Old produced on the estate and is a fitting tribute to the positive impact João has had on the estate since he started in 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe slightly chilled as an aperitif and as a perfect accompaniment to chocolate desserts or strong cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Givino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49078701359434,"sku":"5600212721035","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4747\/8602\/files\/qdpa10.png?v=1746616275"},{"product_id":"quinta-do-portal-douro-tinto-colheita-2021","title":"Quinta do Portal – Douro Tinto ‘Colheita’ 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis straightforward but well-rounded red wine exudes the Douro's healthy and well-groomed fruit in a quality that is only possible when the grape material is at its best, the winery as well and the winemaker is in control.

Two of the real strengths of the site are the variety of vineyard altitudes - from 230m to 550m - and the breadth of indigenous varieties planted across the 35-hectare estate. This allows the Pedra Alta team to produce a fantastic range of styles from fresh elegant whites, to richer Douro reds, as well as Ports, which includes an exciting modern interpretation of White Port, and a 10-year-old Tawny. The vineyards have a long history dating back to at least the late 18th-century and, although the area has always produced high quality fruit for ports, it was only when purchased in July 2018 that the future of the estate began to strengthen. The intention now is working with esteemed winemaker João Pires to realise the full potential of this incredible piece of land. Investment in the vineyard and winery has been instrumental to his craft. It's driven a number of positive changes including grafting and replanting with an increased focus on quality over yield; barrel investment allowing the team to work with smaller, more selected fruit parcels and blending components; and the addition of temperature control in the winery and storage. João manages the estate with a sustainable approach with minimal, timely interventionism in the vineyard - using minimal fertilisers and sprays and thinning when required. His depth of knowledge in the land and qualities of the different parcels has created wines with focus and approachability, while ensuring they retain their individuality and provenance. This is a blend of native grapes Touriga Nacional (54%), Touriga Franca (26%), Tinta Barroca (18%), and Sousão (2%). It has red and blue fruit with lifted aromatics and spice notes, while the palate is full flavoured, full of red and blue fruits with good structure and a long finish.
