Cálem 2020 Vintage Port is made from grapes from the Upper Douro, which result in wines that are more intense, laden with black fruit aromas. The 2020 harvest was noticeably smaller compared to 2019 – as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with a hot, dry summer. The grapes harvested however were high in sugar content, allowing for longer fermentation. The wine was made in stainless steel “robotic treading lagares” and fermented with 50% of the stems.
Cálem Port, founded in 1859 by Antonio Alves Cálem, has a rich history of four generations. Since releasing its first Vintage Port in 1870, Cálem has gained a reputation for being one of the Douro’s most celebrated Port producers. The imposing winery is situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the Douro River.
This Cálem vintage is intensely purple in colour and slightly closed on the nose. The wine nevertheless displays aromas of very ripe black fruit and hints of spice and chocolate. In the mouth, it is robust and intense, with elegant and well-established tannins that linger, revealing a good balance between acidity and sweetness. It finishes with jammy fruit flavours, making this vintage easy, sweet, with a long and intense finish. It has great ageing potential.
This vintage port is best enjoyed with a selection of blue cheeses - in particular some Roquefort, Cashel Blue or Gorgonzola. It is also perfectly paired with dark chocolate, figs, or walnuts.
