Taylor’s Vargellas Quinta is the “backbone” of Taylor’s Port, says the winery. This particular bottling is “from the produce of the oldest vines on the estate…a very limited selection of the production of these old vines and seldom…more than about 2% of the total production of the property. The Vargellas Vinha Velha is selected from five individual plots of old vineyards: Polverínho, Renova do Depósito, Renova do Armazém, Gricha and Vinha Grande. The age of the old vines on these plots varies from around 80 to 120 years.”- Wine Advocate

“The 2007 Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Port is a typical field blend aged in used French oak vats. It comes in with 101 grams per liter of residual sugar. The most aromatic in the vertical, this is laced with eucalyptus and cistus nuances. This is the point in the vertical where the wine really is just too young and too tight to enjoy to its fullest. The fruit is pretty spectacular, though, even as it retains its mid-palate finesse. This and the 2000 may have to duke it out for the title of “Sexiest Port in the Vertical.” But that’s not all. It adds firmness to the great fruit and aromatics…”-99WA, 2026-2070
