DOURO Premium wine awarded in Berlin

Port Wine - Quinta da Devesa +40 Years
"Premium Berlin Gold" - Berliner Wein Trophy

Quinta da Devesa +40 Years Port Wine was awarded, with the most important Medal of the Berliner Wein Trophy competition, the "Premium Berlin Gold". 
In total, 12 top medals were awarded (Premium Berlin Gold) and only another Portuguese wine received equal distinction (Portuguese wines were awarded two Premium Berlin Gold Medals, 33 Gold Medals, 17 Silver Medals).
The Berliner Wein Trophy contest has two annual editions, one in the summer and one in the winter. The summer edition of the Berliner Wein Trophy took place in Berlin, last July and the thousands of samples presented at the contest were evaluated by more than 130 international jurors.
Recently this wine had already won the Silver Medal at the International Wine Challenge 2013 and in last year's Summer Edition of the Berliner Wine Trophy, the other 3 port wines of the Quinta da Devesa (10, 20 and 30 Years) had been awarded Gold Medals.

Quinta da Devesa +40 Years Port is an assertive style wine, recalling the best old wines of the Douro, a tawny notably hot with toasted notes, caramelized fruits of delicious sweetness, from an intense bouquet with notes of honey, molasses and dried fruit. The palate is thick, unctuous and with such an intense sweetness, thus giving a perfect harmony to the whole. Its tawny color is clean and intense, and has an exceptional aftertaste.
Port Wines from Quinta da Devesa are produced exclusively from lots vinified and aged in the Quinta. Since 1941, when it was acquired by the family that still holds it today, crops deemed superior by family winemakers, were stored and aged in wooden casks. These wines are used today to produce Quinta da Devesa’s Port Wines.
