The 1997 Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo Vintage Port comes from an estate with a long history on the Douro. Quinta Nova is located in the heart of the Port region and is known for its vineyards on steep slopes. This vintage combines the character of a specific terroir with the complexity that decades of bottle aging can impart.
Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a historic estate in the Douro. The region features a distinctive landscape with terraces and significant variations in elevation and sun exposure. The 1997 harvest was declared a “Vintage” by several producers. For a wine from a single estate, it is interesting to see how local conditions can impart a unique character to the vintage. Vintage Port spends a relatively short time in cask and then continues to age in the bottle. The fruity intensity of a young Port can evolve over the years into more refined aromas. For a bottle from 1997, its aging history is therefore essential. Not every bottle develops at the same pace, even when it is exactly the same wine.
Depending on the wine's condition, notes of black currants, plums, dried figs, cocoa, and subtle spices may come to the fore. The tannins may have softened over the years, while fresh acidity provides balance.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. If using an older bottle, stand it upright beforehand and decant it carefully to separate any sediment. Pair with blue cheese or dark chocolate, or taste the wine on its own to discover the character of the vintage.
