technical sheet

"Wild plum and berry flavours are concentrated and well rounded in this balanced, fresh-tasting red, which shows hints of chocolate on the finish.”

Our Crusted Port offers an aged vintage experience at a younger stage. A blend of vintage-quality wines of 2 consecutive years, this port was aged for 6 months in oak barrel to facilitate the throwing of sediment - it’s namesake “crust”, before being bottled unfiltered. It was then left to mature in our cellars before being released. we believe in offering Crusted Ports with more bottle age to soften the tannins and reveal the elegant complexity of this timeless style of port.

Black cherry colour. On the nose, complex aromas of blackberries with mineral undertones. Fresh and well balanced on the palate, with good grip and a tannic finish.
