Vintage Port is among the most prestigious port wines in the world. This special port is produced only in exceptional vintage years and is made from the best grapes from the Douro Valley in Portugal.
Vintage Port is made from grapes from one specific year and matures in barrel for only about two years before being bottled. Then the wine continues to develop in bottle, sometimes for decades.
This long aging creates a complex port with intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, chocolate and spice. As Vintage Port ages, refined notes of dried fruit, cocoa and nuts also develop.
Vintage Port is known for its exceptional storage potential. Many bottles can age for decades, developing increasing complexity in the process.
Because Vintage Port often forms sediment, it is usually decanted before serving. This allows the wine to show its full aromas and structure.
In addition to Vintage Port, at Port2Port you will also find other classic port styles such as Tawny Port, Late Bottled Vintage Port and Colheita Port.
