2016 was a great year for Vintage Port and this example proves the case. A dark red colour with intense ripe berry aromas of jam and hints of blackberries turning to a complex bouquet and full of tertiary aromas with the ageing. It has a powerful mouth feeling while maintaining a real finesse on the mid-palate. The finish reveals a pleasantly long aftertaste. This is a vintage you can either drink straight away of put it away for a special occasion.

Caves Messias

Caves Messias is a historic family owned producer renowned for their colheita and vintage ports. Founded in 1926 by Messias Baptista, the company has remained a family owned business up to the present day. The most famous estate is Quinta do Cachão which has its slopes adjacent to the River Douro, in the sub region Cima Corgo. The vineyard was first planted in 1845 by the Baron Pebble sendomais and later acquired by family Afonso Cabral, who in turn sold it to Messiah family in 1956. In order to increase production capacity, Messias acquired another adjoining property, Quinta do Rei, then belonging Gonzales Byass.
