- Vintage Port: The king among the Ports. It is a rare and extremely high-quality Port of the top class. Only outstanding vintages get the quality characteristic "Vintage" and are reported to the Portweininstitut. Each house carries out its own tests and decides for itself. As soon as a vintage has been declared a vintage, it is bottled for the further maturation process, which lasts for many years, if not decades. There is a depot in each bottle, which the wine needs for its further development. Vintage Port is matured at the earliest after 10 to 12 years, should be decantated before drinking and preferably be drunk within 24 hours.
