Product with History
Quinta do Vallado, founded in 1716 by Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Douro and has been maintained to this day by her descendants. Located near the mouth of the River Corgo, on the banks of the Douro, the quinta expanded its production beyond Port wine and underwent a major modernisation in 1993, under the leadership of Guilherme Álvares Ribeiro and Maria Antónia Ferreira, with restructuring of the vineyards and a focus on varietal quality.
Adelaide Tinto 2015 is produced in honour of its founder and is born from a single plot of very old vines (many over 100 years old), planted in the 1940s with a field blend of over 30 indigenous grape varieties. The schist soil and low yields (around 400g per plant, around 2.8 tonnes/ha) result in a wine with a unique character and remarkable complexity. It is made by hand, vinified in stainless steel vats at 24 °C for 9 days and aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels (Taransaud and Seguin-Moreau cooperages).
It is a very rare wine, only bottled in exceptional years and in limited quantities and subject to strict family protocol: it is only released as "Adelaide" if all the heirs unanimously agree on its concentration, freshness and longevity; otherwise, it remains in the cellar until it reaches the desired complexity.
