Port

Port wine is one of the most famous fortified wines in the world. It originates from Portugal, specifically from the Douro Valley, and is made using a special process. A grape spirit (brandy) is added to the fermenting must, which stops fermentation and preserves the wine’s natural sweetness. This gives Port its characteristic rich flavour, higher alcohol content, and gently sweet profile.

Styles of Port Wine

Port offers a wide range of flavours and styles:

Ruby Port – young, fruity, fresh, and intense.
Tawny Port – aged in barrels, gaining smooth notes of nuts, caramel, and dried fruit.
Vintage Port – rare, produced only in the best vintages, ideal for long-term ageing.
White Port – made from white grape varieties, crisp and slightly dry, often served as an aperitif.

How to Enjoy Port Wine

Port is traditionally associated with desserts and cheese – it pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, chocolate, or nut-based cakes. White Port is often served as a refreshing aperitif and is also popular in cocktails.
