The Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Port 2007 comes from a special part of Quinta de Vargellas. Here stand old vines that preserve a piece of the Douro’s history. Taylor Fladgate bottles this selection separately, allowing the character of the old plots to stand on its own alongside the house’s classic Vintage Ports.
2007 is one of the widely declared Vintage Port vintages. In this vintage year, numerous port houses chose to release their best wines as Vintage Ports. This widespread declaration underscores the exceptional reputation of the harvest in the Douro, while each producer retains its own style and selection.
Quinta de Vargellas is located in the upper reaches of the Douro River and is closely associated with Taylor Fladgate, a port house founded in 1692. In the old Vinha Velha plots, various traditional grape varieties grow intermixed, as has long been customary in the region. This mixed planting and the limited yields give the selection a distinctive character.
2007 is considered a strong Vintage Port year, in which ripeness and fresh vibrancy blended beautifully. The selection of old vines at Quinta de Vargellas expresses that balance in its own unique way. The result is a port in which concentration does not have to come at the expense of refinement.
Black currant, plum, violets, and subtle herbal notes can define the aromatic profile. During further bottle aging, dried fruit, cocoa, and more complex spice notes may emerge. The exact development depends on the storage conditions and the condition of each bottle.
This case contains three bottles from the same vintage, allowing you to open the port at different times. Store the bottles in a cool, dark place. Stand one bottle upright beforehand and decant it carefully to separate any sediment. Serve slightly chilled—perhaps with blue cheese—or enjoy the wine on its own.
