The sweet and dessert wine Very Old White Porto Single Harvest Colheita, vintage 1940 from the winery Quinta Vale D. Maria has been rated in 2025 by Benjamin Herzog & Dominik Vombach with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Douro in Portugal.
Dark amber in the glass. Beguiling, complex bouquet with notes of dried figs, dates, rum sultanas and loomi. This is joined by roasted nuts, dried apple, candied citrus fruits and a little lovage and oud. Concentrated on the palate, with a beautiful interplay between plump sweetness and lively acidity. Intense fruit, cocoa, popped grain and an intense balsamic, floral savouriness on the long finish.
