Explore the different styles of port wine, from fruity ruby & refined tawny to rare vintage & colheita ports. Learn about their unique flavours, ageing processes & ideal pairings.
Port takes its name from the city of Porto located at the head of the river Douro in Portugal. The success of port wine was born of adversity when England & France were at war in the 17th century.
The temperature of the port wine affects its tasting. Too high, the taste of alcohol will stand out & you will not be able to taste the aromas, too low, the wine will have no distinctive taste.
