The company said, in a statement, that after a wine-growing year with weather conditions favourable to a long and balanced maturation of the grapes, “wines of excellent quality are now presented that reflect the authenticity and style of each brand”.

Vintage is considered the highest category in the world of Port wine.

Produced in the oldest demarcated and regulated region in the world, Douro, Sandeman Quinta do Seixo Vintage 2022, Porto Ferreira Quinta do Porto Vintage 2022 and Offley Vintage 2022 Port wines will hit the market in September.

“More than a milestone in time and a promising announcement, each vintage declaration is a celebration of the best that nature offers us in exceptional years”, said the president of Sogrape, Fernando da Cunha Guedes.

Luís de Sottomayor, director of oenology at Sogrape responsible for Douro and Porto wines, pointed to wines “with good acidity, which is very elegant, which respect the history of excellence of previous harvests”.

Founded in 1942, Sogrape currently owns more than 1,600 hectares of vineyards spread across Portugal, Spain, Chile, Argentina, and New Zealand and is present in more than 120 markets.
