Description While Port wine takes its name from the city of Porto (also spelled Oporto), all Port Wine actually comes from Vila Nova de Gaia, or the "New Town of Gaia," which was established by Alfonso III in 1253 due to a disagreement with the Bishop of Oporto over duties on shipping. When the Port Wine trade developed in the 17th century, it was centered around Vila Nova de Gaia and for most of the history of Port Wine it has only been legally possible to sell it from Vila Nova de Gaia. These barrels are in the 18th century warehouse of Vasconcellos Port cellars, where we tried 10-Year, 20-Year, 40-Year and 1902 Vintage Port in addition to some young white Port.
