Port wine production: Cadastro
A unique and complex ranking system that assesses 12 factors, including altitide, yield, and locality, awarding or subtracting points to arrive at a final score.Based on this score vineyards are ranked from A to F. The rankings determine each grower's beneficio, authorization- the maximum amount of wine that may be fortified that year.
27
Port history cont'd
when first made in the 1600's, wine was vinified in quintas (estates) in the upper Duoro Valley. The wine was sent downriver to the City of Oporto via traditional boats known as Barcos rabelos for transport to market.
28
1800's history
The center of production shifter across the river to Vila Nova de Gaia, where doxens of lodges were used for storing and aging wine. These are owned by port negociants known as "shippers." The higher humidity and cooler temps on the coast provide better conditions for aging port with less evaporation.
29
Port today
Boat trip is replaced by trucking and Nova de Gaia is still center of the Port trade, but many do their own blending and aging at their own controlled facilities in the Duoro valley.
30
Ruby Port

31
Reserve
A blend of premium ruby ports bottled after 4-6 years aging in oak vats, reserve are more like tawny in style.
32

34

35

36

It is is aged in casks but must be bottle dby July 30 of the 3rd year after harvest After bottling, it is cellared for many years before release. Wine may spend decades aging in the bottle. Each one is unique and reflects the growing season of that year.
37
Single quinta
Made from the specific grapes of one vineyard and may be vintage or nonvintage. sometimes produced in years that wewre not good enough for a vintage year for their entire estate (controversial). Requires the same handling as other vintage ports. Examples: Dow's Quinta do Bomfim and Taylor's Quinta de Terra Feita
38
Colheita
A single-vintage tawny port. Wine must remian in cask for at least 7 years, but in practice spends a lot more time in cask before bottling.

41
Madeira
An island located 400 miles off the coast of Morocco, is home to the second of Portugal's classic fortified wines.
42
History and process
Island of Madeira was an important resupply point for ships en route to the Far East or the Americas. Ships took aboard local wines which were fortified so they wouldn't spoil on the voyage. The time spent in the stiffing hot cargo hold of the ship sailing through the tropics did something to the wine that improved the quality, resulting in caramelized, nutty flavors. Maderization was used to describe this process.
43

Dry styles
Made with noble: sercial, verdelho, or Tinta Negra mole are fortified after fermentation.
52
Sweet styles

53
methods of maderizing: Canteiro method
to simulate the sunbaked conditions of long ago: Wine is placed in an uncooled warehouse rafters subject to high temps for a minimum of two years. Evaporation occur sand the remaining wine becomes more concentrated. these are considered of finest quality. Bottled at minimum of three years, but many are in cask for 20 or more.
54
Estufagem Method
Undergoes a process of cuba de color. Wine is left in a stainless steel vat known as an estufa. Hot water is circulated through a coil in the tank for three months heating the wine to 113 or 122 F. After this, the wine rests in estufa for min 90 days. It is then transferred to a cask for aging. this is the least expensive aging method in terms of cost and time required.
55
Armazen de calor
Another estufagem method, invoves leaving wine in vats in a large room that is heated by steam to over 120 for 6-12 months. Used mostly by the madeira wine company, it uses longer time and lower temps than estufagem method and is considered an intermediate of the time required and cost.
