Vista Alegre Vintage Port 2019

A Vintage Port from Vista Alegre, produced from grapes from the highest-lying A-mark vineyards in the Douro Valley. Vintage Port is made from a single harvest year and is always aged for 2-3 years before being bottled unfiltered. It should be drunk young or old and develops greatly during bottle ageing; most vintages are best kept 20-30 years from the harvest. It should be decanted before serving, as sediment collects in the bottle, and served no warmer than 15°C in large glasses. It pairs with strong mature cheeses, sweet desserts such as cakes, walnut tart or chocolate cake, and a young Vintage Port also suits red beef with a strong pepper sauce. It should be drunk the same evening once opened and decanted.
