Quinta da Trovisca, Tawny Port

Quinta da Trovisca is a Port-focused estate in Portugal’s Douro Valley, near São João da Pesqueira, with a brand story rooted in the thunderous “rumbles” that sometimes echo around the vineyard. Its range centres on classic Port styles, including Ruby, Tawny, White, Rosé, LBV, Colheita and aged Tawny Ports.

The winery presents itself as combining the natural beauty of the Douro with a strong sustainability ethos, stating that it respects nature through sustainable farming methods. It also highlights wildlife and environmental protection as part of its identity, noting that a share of profits is donated to the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

Aged for 4 years in French oak barrels and balseiros in which it received a slow and natural oxidation through the pores of the wood. The varieties of barrels used bring extra complexity and unique personality to this young Tawny.

Hand-harvested, sustainably grown grapes from owned and sourced vineyards. The vinification happens with totally destemmed grapes going through slow fermentation with temperature control up to 27 ºC. Before bottling, a gentle filtration happens to avoid major sediment.
