Fonseca, one of Portugal’s great Port houses, produced an exceptional Vintage Port in 1963, sourced from top Douro Valley vineyards. Made from hand-harvested traditional varieties, it was foot-trodden in lagares and aged briefly in cask before decades of bottle maturation. The 1963 vintage is celebrated for its balance, richness, and longevity.

Now a rare, fully mature wine, it offers unparalleled depth and complexity. Best enjoyed as a contemplative after-dinner pour alongside cheese or nuts.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 96
"This example was bottled in Porto and remained in the house’s bin until this tasting. The 1963 Vintage Port has a dark russet color. The nose is beautifully defined, perhaps this particular bottle less exuberant than other that I have encountered. It offers walnut, small cherries, juniper berries and a touch of spirit that expands in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance and fine tannins. It has tremendous weight matched by nigh perfect acidity. It is very harmonious, almost honeyed towards the finish with hazelnut and cloves infusing the decayed fruit and hints of menthol on the spicy aftertaste. This is a sublime Fonseca that will last another two or three decades with ease."

Wine Spectator

WS 98
"A grand slam. Deep ruby with a slightly red edge, intense black cherry and raspberry nose, full-bodied, with masses of fruit, full tannins and an extremely long finish. This can age indefinitely."
