      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: The 2018 Tinto is a 50/45 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with dollops of Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca filling out the blend, all aged for 16 months in 50% new and 50% second use French oak. It comes in at 14.3% alcohol. Creamier and more sensual than the Meandro this issue, this mostly shows off its oak right now. That will get better as this ages and pulls in the wood. Even now, though, it drinks fairly well. The tannins are ripe, although this does show more power with extended aeration. It tastes great and retains the elegance for which this bottling is famed. It should age well and it should improve more.
      • Wine Enthusiast: This stellar wine comes from one of the grandest estates in the Douro, created in the 19th century by Dona Antónia Ferreira, whose family still owns it. For such a massive wine, it is surprisingly elegant. It is dense with tannins and black fruits but also sophisticated and certainly ageworthy.

                                            Producer Information

                                            Quinta do Vale Meão is a Port estate based in the Vila Nova de Foz Côa municipality in the upper Douro valley. It produces a range of table and fortified wines that have gained numerous awards. The quinta vineyards were replanted in the 1980s, partly due to flooding of the area after the construction of a nearby dam. Plantings, chiefly of Touriga Nacional, are arranged in varietal blocks, matched to areas of schist, granite and alluvial soils. The historic Adega dos Novos winery combines the traditional and modern, with barriques and stainless steel tanks alongside stone lagares (treading tanks). The company also owns the Adega da Barca Velha wine lodge, reconstructed in 2007, as a warehouse for storing port. The estate originated in 1877 when Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, owner of the largest winemaking estate in the Douro, purchased 300 hectares (750 acres) of virgin land with the plan of developing a new model vineyard, which was completed in 1895 (a year before her death). The vineyard fruit was supplied to A.A. Ferreira until 1998, when one branch of the family consolidated the various shares and began to produce wines under Quinta do Vale Meão's own identity, starting with the 1999 vintage. The portfolio of table wines includes red and white wines called Meandro, as well as the Monte Meão Touriga Nacional. Quinta do Vale Meão makes two Ports: the Olazabal Finest Reserve ruby style, and the Quinta do Vale Meão Porto Vintage.
