Porto 1935
Aged for over 90 years
Throughout nine decades of political, social, and economic changes, a wine lay resting in the silence of the cellars, maturing slowly, far from the world’s hurried gaze. While we witnessed revolutions and rebirths, this wine remained hidden, like a well-kept secret, in no hurry to reveal itself. Each year contributed to its refinement, giving it a unique complexity, like a treasure slowly shaped by time. Since 1935, Vale D. Maria Very Old Tawny Porto has been aged in chestnut casks, developing complex and elegant flavors and aromas. Deep amber in color, with greenish highlights indicative of its age and prolonged oxidation, it displays impressive depth. A total of 334 bottles were produced, all numbered. Every detail, from bottling to labeling, was done by hand.
