Classic Vintage Port
True vintage Ports are the pinnacle of Port production, only made in the finest years when the various shippers decide that quality is good enough to ‘declare’ a vintage. They spend two years in wood and thereafter mature in bottle, the best for thirty years or more, throwing a heavy sediment as they age. When at their peak, they are Ports of unparalleled depth, nuance and length. We often have smaller parcels of older vintage Port on our Oddments List: to find out what’s available now, call us on 01743 234455.
