The 2024 Vintage Port, the first declaration since 2017, was produced with a blend of 63% Touriga Nacional, the most abundant grape in Quinta de Canais, 24% Touriga Franca, 9% Alicante Bouschet and 4% Sousão. It matured for 18 months in oak vats. It has a low 95 grams of sugar—2017 had 107—and feels drier and more vinous and serious. This has one of the highest percentages of Touriga Nacional, and has an amazing finish. It's classical, more balanced and elegant, with typical rockrose, tobacco and wildflowers. It finishes quite dry, and the tannins are more noticeable. 35,760 bottles produced. It was bottled in 2026. Drink 2030-2060.
A blend from Quinta dos Canais and Vale Coelho, both in the Douro Superior, 63% Touriga Nacional, 24% Touriga Franca, 9% Alicante Bouschet and 4% Sousão: characteristically deep in colour like all these wines; open and gentle on the nose with a pronounced floral character (orange blossom); similarly suave and gentle initially on the palate, mouth-filling and very flattering in style, some dark chocolate concentration with tannins rising to a lovely rich, complete, firm finish. 2,980 cases.
