1935 Vintage Port
Classic refined wines, rich with fruit and tannins without perhaps the power of the 1934's. Declared by several major Port houses.
Drinking Status
Historic wines, but with the best still having a good life ahead of them.
Tasting Notes
Good fruit and tannin integration with lovely balance and elegance.
Climatic Conditions
A difficult growing season, with a drought that stretched until September, at which point there was a little rain.
Vinification
The harvesting began from 23rd September, under perfect weather conditions. The quantity was less than 1934, but the quality was promising
Winemaker's Comments
"I am inclined to think that the quality and good colour inspires hopes that the 1935 may prove good enough to make a Jubilee Vintage - quantity is less than last year - but quality appears to be better."
