Port Wine

3 items in this collection.

Port is a fortified wine originating from Portugal's Douro Valley, renowned for its rich sweetness and higher alcohol content. It is produced by adding grape spirit (brandy) to the wine during fermentation, which stops the process and retains some natural sugars.

There are various styles of Port, including Ruby, Tawny, and Vintage. Ruby Port is briefly aged in large vats, preserving its fruity and robust character. Tawny Port, aged longer in smaller barrels, develops smooth, nutty flavors with hints of caramel and dried fruit. Vintage Port, made from the best grapes of a single harvest, ages in the bottle for many years, resulting in a complex and refined wine.

Typically enjoyed as a dessert wine, Port pairs well with cheese, nuts, and chocolate. Its rich, layered flavors and versatility make it a favorite among wine enthusiasts and a staple for celebratory occasions.
