What to Expect

Port wine is one of the great dessert wines of the world. Based on a blend that usually features Touriga Nacional, vintage Port is a rich red wine witch is fortified with grape spirits. It combines the chewy, tannic bite of red wine with a sweetness that helps buffer the added alcohol and supports the spicy plum and dark berry fruits. Vintage Port is capable of aging and improving for decades. Other types of Port include Ruby Port, which is enjoyed in its youth for it fresh fruit, Tawny Port, which has been aged in wood for years giving it its tawny color and progressively nuttier flavors as the wine increases in age, and Colheita port, which is a Tawny Port from a single vintage.

Winemakers Notes

Color: dark ruby

Flavour: strong concentration of black fruit such as plum or cherry, with hints of smoke and anise. A touch of violet becomes discernible after a few minutes.

On the palate: smooth and soft with notes of blueberry, earth, raspberry and hints of pepper. Excellent acidity with great length and a sweet finish.
