Smith Woodhouse Porto Madelena Vintage

Madalena Vintage Port is made with the finest quality grapes from Quinta da Madalena in Portugal’s Douro Valley. This single vineyard Vintage Port will mature slightly more quickly than classic Vintages but otherwise shares the same characteristic rich, opulent Smith Woodhouse style.
Lovely ruby colour, this wine is already approachable, with excellent bottle age characteristics. Splendidly smooth on the palate, well balanced, with delicate fruit flavours and great length and intensity on the finish.

Christopher Smith, Member of The British Parliament and Lord Mayor of London, founded a small company to ship Port from the Douro in 1784. Some years later the Woodhouse brothers joined him. Since 1970, Smith Woodhouse has been owned by the Symington family, Port producers since the 19th century. Through the last two hundred years, this small Port company has built a reputation for outstanding Vintage Ports. In frequent blind tastings, Smith Woodhouse earns top marks. Smith Woodhouse Ports have outstanding length and structure and are drier than most. Its Vintage Ports show a characteristic opulent rich style, balanced by firm hard tannins. Ageing gives these wines an unmatched elegance.
