\u00a0 \u00a0 This was a year in which few Port wine firms declared the production of vintage Port and the quantities produced were small, as a result of all the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>difficulties that characterised the wine-growing year; the
\nweather was unfavourable (<\/span><\/span>Douro, the 2023 general harvest report<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span>) and there were a number of extreme conditions, in general terms, grape ripening was uneven and hampered by erratic weather conditions, during harvest season there was great climatic instability following heavy rains that persisted intermittently for weeks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 It was clearly an unusual year, characterized above all by the release of Single Quinta Vingtage Ports<\/b>. Some of the major groups in the sector simply decided not to declare vint<\/span><\/span>age Port this year, as was the case with Sogrape – which represents Offley, Porto Ferreira and Sandeman houses – the same happened with Granvinho – Dalva, Porto Cruz and Quinta de Ventozelo. The Kopke Group (<\/span><\/span>formerly Sogevinus Fine Wines) also did not produce
\nVintage Port in 2023 under any of its brands \u2013 Cal\u00e9m, Barros, Burmester and
\nKopke.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Of the largest groups in the Port wine sector, Symington Family Estates<\/b>\u00a0(Cockburn’s, Dow’s, Graham’s, Quinta do Ves\u00favio and Warre’s) declared the highest number of Single Quinta Vintage Port, originating from its six flagship estates in the Douro wine region, namely Quinta dos Canais, Quinta do Bomfim, Q<\/span><\/span>uinta Senhora da Ribeira, Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Ves\u00favio and Quinta da Cavadinha. Limited editions were bottled,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>with the notable exception of Cockburn\u2019s
\nQuinta dos Canais Vintage Port, which is set aside for ageing in the company\u2019s wine
\ncellars for future release.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0For its<\/span><\/span> part, the Fladgate Partnership<\/b>\u00a0(Croft, Fonseca Guimaraens, Quinta do Portal and Taylor’s) only declared the Taylor’s Sentinels Vintage Port, now in its second vintage following the inaugural release in 2022.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0A Vintage made exclusively from grapes grown on estates in the Pinh\u00e3o \u00a0<\/span>river valley (Terra Feita, Junco, Casa Nova
\nand Eira Velha).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Niepoort, another well-known producer, also decided not to produce vintage Port this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>We
\nnote that the classic\u00a0Quinta do Noval<\/b> Vintage Port has been declared without
\ninterruption since 2011. The famous Quinta do Noval Vintage Nacional was also
\ndeclared in 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Despite
\nthe limited number of vintages declared, there were also some highlights to
\nmention, the Van Zellers & Co.<\/b> presenting a very limited edition
\n(2,000 bottles) of the new Van Zellers & Co. Torrente Vintage Port. This
\nvintage differs from the house\u2019s classic Vintage Port; it is a particular interpretation of the year, paying homage to the Torto river valley,
\nwhere the vineyards that give rise to this wine are located. Half of the
\nproduction (1,000 bottles) will be left to age in the house\u2019s wine cellar, to
\nbe released in ten years\u2019 time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>We
\nalso note the first bottling of Odisseia Vintage Port<\/b> from Odisseia
\nWines, by producer and winemaker Jean-Hughes Gros.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 From this
\nyear we have recorded 34 vintages <\/b>from 22 producers<\/b>, as described
\nbelow:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
