The Story
A bottle with a past
2011 was a declared vintage across the Douro, and at Alvor the entire harvest was trodden by foot in granite lagares under lantern light — a practice unbroken since the estate's founding in 1791.
“A vintage port is a letter to someone who has not been born yet.”
The winemaker, Quinta do Alvor
