Quinta do Cachao 1980 Vintage Port, Messias

Quinta do Cachao 1980 Vintage Port, Messias. Quinta do Cachão is situated at the bank of the Douro river Douro, in the Cima Corgo, the most inhospitable, ancient, deep and beautiful region to which the river lends its name.This vineyard was first planted in 1845 by Barão do Seixo and was later acquired by the Afonso Cabral’s family, which in turn sold to Messias in the year of 1956. In order to increase its production, Messias acquired in 1958, a border property, Quinta do Rei, owned by Gonzalez Byass.  1980 was a fine vintage for Port and this is now ruby in colour, and has mellow fruits of the forest, almond paste and cherry tones.
