Port Wine
When you feel a little hankering for something strong and sweet, Port comes to the rescue. We’re talking proper fortified wine produced in the Douro Valley, certified by the EU and enjoyed by lovers of the finer things in life. The ins-and-out of how Port is produced are detailed and interesting, but all you really need to know is that we’ve handpicked some delicious Ports for our collection, all of which are available to buy online right here.
There are a few useful words on the labels, however, that come in useful when you’re shopping for Port. Vintage doesn't just mean a fancy bottle, it’s Port produced from an exceptionally good harvest and matured for at least two years. If you’re curious to try one, go for Taylor’s 2015 Late Bottled Vintage. Tawny Port, like Fonesca’s 20 Year Old Tawny, will taste a lot different from your usual Ruby Port, its flavours being nuttier and more concentrated. We even have a ready-to-drink Port & Tonic in our collection, courtesy of Taylor’s that balances the flavours for you.
