What better way to take away the winter chill, than with an awesome bottle of Porto! Port wine is the epitome of a winter drink; after a hearty meal and settling in for the night, by the fire on a chilly night, pour yourself a dram or two of your favorite style port.
If you’re new to the port world; there are two basic styles of Port: Tawny- a slightly lighter and “tawny” color with hints of spice and nuttiness or Ruby- a bright vibrant “ruby red” color with a fuller rounder body and luscious ripe flavors.
These two styles then have varying degrees of complexity. Tawny port can be experienced by a basic Tawny, an aged 10, 20, 30, or 40 Year Old style, or a Colheita (kohl-hate-ah) vintage Tawny. Ruby ports can be enjoyed in the form of a basic Ruby, an LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) or in a Vintage Port. Vintage ports are only declared in exceptional vintages, and are therefore considered the best of the heap! See for yourself why these wines are world renowned!
Not sure of the style that you like, try one of our half bottles of Tawny or Ruby and compare for yourself. Whatever your preference of style, come on in and check out our selection.
