CASAL DOS JORDOES FINEST RESERVE PORT 0.7L

In the sun-soaked Douro Valley, where steep schist terraces cling to the rugged landscape and the Douro River winds its way through centuries of winemaking heritage, a gem of Portuguese tradition shines brightly: Casal dos Jordões. This family-owned estate, in operation since 1870, holds the distinction of being the first fully certified organic Port producer—a testament to their deep commitment to sustainability and quality.

Their Finest Reserve Port is a masterpiece, crafted from the region’s iconic grape varieties—Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, and others carefully selected to create a wine of unparalleled depth. Pour it into your glass, and the first thing you’ll notice is its dense, inky-purple hue, as dark and inviting as the Douro’s midnight skies. The nose greets you with a bouquet of luscious fig, prune, and fruitcake, layered with whispers of dark chocolate-coated fruits that promise a decadent experience to come.

Take a sip, and the story unfolds. The palate is sweet yet balanced, lavish yet elegant. Rich fruitcake flavours mingle with the smooth texture of prunes, while the natural sweetness dances gracefully with a fine, structured balance. Its length is remarkable, lingering like a warm memory long after the glass is set down. Perfectly suited for blue cheese, a sumptuous dessert, or simply savoured on its own, this Port elevates any moment to something extraordinary.

The vineyards of Casal dos Jordões, tended by Arlindo da Costa Pinto e Cruz, tell their own tale of resilience and beauty. Split terraces carved into the steep schist slopes are home not only to the vines but also to olive trees, a nod to the harmonious coexistence of agriculture in this stunning region. Here, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, and other indigenous varieties thrive, soaking up the sun by day and cooling in the river’s breezes by night. The result is a portfolio of multi-award-winning Ports, each a reflection of their remarkable terroir.

And for those who fall under the spell of the Finest Reserve, the estate’s Tawny Port offers another chapter in this delicious narrative. Both are drinking beautifully now, yet their structure ensures they will age gracefully for years to come. With Casal dos Jordões, every sip is a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the art of organic winemaking. So, raise a glass to the legacy of the Douro and indulge in a taste of timeless elegance.
