For The Love Of Port

Hello all,

I'm looking to source a bottle of pre-1850 Malvasia for an upcoming tasting. Producer doesn't matter that much, as long as it's a known name. Does anyone have thoughts on a source? RWC doesn't show any on their website, but I haven't called them yet.

Thanks!

http://www.courtierwines.com/ has a 1834 Barbeito Malvasia
http://www.winewatch.com has a 1795.
http://www.taylorandnorton.com/ has the 1835 Quinta do Serrado Boal.
There is quite a bit of 1845 Cossart Bual Centaenary Solera Madeira out there, but I don't know if you were looking for a solera.

Europe is much easier to find these old ones.

Thanks Dave. I'll check these out. I would prefer a vintage over a solera.

Im happy to help John. Ping me and let me know what in particular you are looking for. Not a whole lot of choices, im afraid.
