The 2015 Quinta do Vallado Adelaide Tributa is a unique and rare sweet wine, bottled only in exceptional years and in very small quantities, typically around 4000 bottles. This wine is a tribute to Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and is crafted from a vineyard in Rio Torto, primarily planted at the beginning of the 20th century with a field blend of over 30 traditional grape varieties. The 2015 vintage received a notable 95 points from James Suckling and 93 points from Robert Parker. It is described as very concentrated, with balsamic oak notes, fig, black plum aromas, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, mature, and silky tannins, complemented by mineral notes and a very elegant, persistent, and complex finish. 【 Crafted from a century-old field blend vineyard in very limited quantities 】.
🍴 Food Pairing: This sweet wine, with its complex and robust profile, pairs beautifully with intense cheeses like Roquefort or rich desserts such as chocolate fondant. Its delicate balance of dried fruit, honey, and nutty flavors also complements a pear tart tatin, crème brûlée, or a selection of fine blue cheeses.
🥂 Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dessert course at a celebratory dinner, a special anniversary, or as a contemplative after-dinner drink to savor its rarity and complexity.
