Wine vintage rating 1965

What was the vintage 1965 like?

1965 There are very few really good wines from the vintage, but there are. Reading the description of the year, one is prepared for nothing but catastrophes. In fact, good wines are lucky strikes, in most of Europe's vineyards the grapes did not ripen properly.
Spring was actually good, but from June to September the weather was cold at first and then got worse. A late harvest in October yielded low-alcohol wines. And yet there are always single bottles in perfect condition, balanced, with good fruit and a convincing bouquet. Lots of scent, less body. Wineries in Bordeaux that do well even in difficult vintages: Ducru Beaucaillou, Pichon Comtesse, Latour. At that time, the classic, large wineries worked most reliably in Barolo: Marchesi di Barolo, Fontanafredda, Villadoria.

Weather in the year 1965

The year began with a long winter. Plenty of snow fell in March. On the other hand, spring was exceptionally dry until the beginning of summer.

The summer stayed fresh throughout. No heat wave, no matter how short, set in. Temperatures stayed below 20°C in July. Again and again heavy rain in August and in September in the mountains the first snow.

Good filling levels, good wine quality

The fill level of an old vintage wine reveals important information on the drinkability of the wine.
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.

But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.

A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.


The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Wine rating

Do you have a 1965 vintage in your wine cellar and would you like to know how much it is worth?

Here are a few tips: in order to still have any value, the bottle must be leakproof. The wine must not be cloudy. It should be of good quality (not supermarket wine).

Search for the wine online without specifying the vintage. If it is a well-known winery, you will find the wine immediately and also the price you have to pay for the current vintage. If the current wine costs from EUR 20.00 upwards, that's a good sign.

The filling level is decisive for the value. Upper shoulder to base neck is required. Medium shoulder is only acceptable for extremely rare, already valuable wines.

SW15929 1965 Porto Messias
Port

Messias is one of the most important port wine houses. The 1965 port matured in wooden barrels and was bottled in 2005 - as is usual with trustworthy producers, this information is also on the label.

Port wine is a sweet wine that comes exclusively from the Douro Valley. The name comes from the port city of Porto, from which the port has been shipped mainly to England since the end of the 17th century.
In the 17th century, the idea of ​​stopping wine fermentation by adding 80% wine distillate was developed. As a result, the sugar was not fermented any further and the wine retained its sweetness. This so-called fortification means that port wine has an alcohol content of between 19 and 22 percent by volume and lasts longer.
After a good two years of storage in a large barrel under airtight conditions, the Tawny Port is transferred to a small wooden barrel, the Pipa, with a capacity of 550 liters. Here it breathes (oxidizes) more and changes its color to tawny. Contact with the wood also changes the taste towards aromas of nuts, dried fruits etc. Standard Tawnys are filtered and bottled after 6-7 years.
Port wine is usually available as a non-vintage fortified wine. Only exceptionally good vintages such as 1965 are declared as a port wine vintage and allow the production of a tawny port or even a vintage port, i.e. a vintage port wine.
