Quinta do Infantado 20yr Tawny

The wine is aged for 10-30 years in very old pipas. A pipa or 'pipe" in English is the traditional 550-liter wooden cask used for aging, as well as measuring quantities of, port; it is ideal for tawnies, as oxidation is promoted by its horizontal orientation, smaller capacity and thinner staves (versus the thicker ones of the huge wooden tank called a tonel or balseiro used for ruby and vintage ports). Finishes at a moderate 20% alcohol-slightly higher vs most other Infantado ports due to 3% evaporation yearly-and 107 g/liter RS. Only 500-700 bottles numbered bottles are produced annually.
