Porto Taylor - Quinta de Vargellas Vintage 2001
The wine
Taylor operates three domains: Quinta de Terra Feita, Quinta Junco and Quinta de Vargellas. The latter is located at the top of the Douro Valley's pyramid of wine estates. In the years in which Taylor produces no classic vintage, wines from the Quinta de Vargellas vineyards can still produce a Porto Quinta de Vargellas vintage. However, this will then be a "Single Quinta" vintage, as only grapes from the Vargellas domain will be used in the production of this wine. The wines produced are generally more affordable in their youth than the classic vintages, but also offer great potential for keeping. These extremely elegant, fruity wines will delight connoisseurs in their youth, but can also be enjoyed years later.
