Wine Merchants\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFortified wines\u003c\/a\u003e in the style of port are also produced outside Portugal, including in Australia, France, South Africa, Canada, Spain, and the United States. Under European Union Protected Designation of Origin guidelines, only the product from Portugal may be labelled as port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePort from Portugal comes in several styles:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuby Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the least expensive and most extensively produced type of port. After fermentation, it is stored in tanks of concrete or stainless steel to prevent oxidative ageing and to preserve its bright red colour and full-bodied fruitiness. The wine is usually blended to match the style of the port house to which it is to be sold. The wine is fined and cold filtered before bottling and does not generally improve with age, although premium ruby ports are aged in wood from four to six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTawny Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged tawny ports are wines usually made from red grapes that are aged in wooden barrels exposing them to gradual oxidation and evaporation. As a result of this oxidation, they gradually mellow to a golden-brown colour. The exposure to oxygen imparts \"nutty\" flavours to the wine, which is blended to match the house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged tawny ports are sweet or medium dry and typically consumed as a dessert wine, but can also pair with a main course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a port is described as tawny, without an indication of age, it is a basic blend of wood aged port that has spent time in wooden barrels. Above this are tawny with an indication of age which represent a blend of several vintages. The target age profile, in years in wood, is stated on the label. It is also possible to produce an aged white port in this manner, with some shippers now marketing aged white ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColheita Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Colheita Port is a single-vintage tawny port aged for at least seven years, with the vintage year on the bottle instead of a category of age (10, 20, etc). However, a Colheita port should not be confused with vintage port: a vintage port will spend only about 18 months in barrels after harvest and will continue to mature in bottle, but a Colheita may have spent 20 or more years in wooden barrels before being bottled and sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e White port is made from white grapes, such as Malvasia Fina, Donzelinho, Gouveio, Codega and Rabigato, and can be made in a wide variety of styles. Ordinary white ports make an excellent basis for a cocktail while those of greater age are best served chilled on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate Bottled Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late bottled vintage (often referred to simply as LBV) was originally wine that had been destined for bottling as vintage port, but because of lack of demand was left in the barrel for longer than had been planned. Over time it has become two distinct styles of wine, both of them bottled between four and six years after the vintage, but one style is fined and filtered before bottling, while the other is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfiltered LBVs are mostly bottled with conventional driven corks and need to be decanted before serving, after which they should be consumed within a few days. Filtered port has the advantage of being ready to drink without decanting and is usually bottled in a stoppered bottle that can be easily resealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLBV is intended to provide some of the experience of drinking a vintage port but without the need for lengthy bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrusted Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is usually a blend of several vintages. Unlike vintage port, which has to be sourced from grapes from a single vintage, crusted port affords the port blender the opportunity to make best use of the varying characteristics of different vintages. Crusted port is bottled unfiltered, and sealed with a driven cork. Like vintage port it needs to be decanted before drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage port is made entirely from the grapes of a declared vintage year. Not every year is declared a vintage in the Douro. The decision on whether to declare a vintage is made early in the second year following the harvest. The decision to declare a vintage is made by each individual port house, often referred to as a 'shipper'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage ports may be aged in barrels or stainless steel for a maximum of two and a half years before bottling, and generally require another ten to forty years of ageing in the bottle before reaching what is considered a proper drinking age. Since they are potentially aged in cask for only a short time, they retain their dark ruby colour and fresh fruit flavours. Particularly fine vintage ports can continue to gain complexity for many decades after they were bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the complex character of aged vintage port comes from the continued slow decomposition of grape solids in each bottle. These solids are undesirable when port is consumed, and thus vintage port typically requires a period of settling before decanting and pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Quinta Vintage Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e These are wines that originate from a single estate, unlike the standard bottlings of the port wine houses which can be sourced from a number of quintas. Single Quinta bottlings are used in two different ways by different producers. Most of the large port wine houses have a single quinta bottling which is only produced in some years when the regular vintage port of the house is not declared. In those years, wine from their best quinta is still bottled under a vintage designation, rather than being used for simpler port qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"barros-white-port-nv","title":"Barros White Port NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Barros White Port is made from a selection of Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, Verdelho and Viosinho grapes.

Crafted from the traditional Port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz the Rosé Port is made from the free run juice gathered when making the Quinta de la Rosa Vintage Port. When the lagares (granite tanks) are filled with their best grapes they open the taps and let the juice run off before treading the Vintage Port. The free run juice is subsequently fermented in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks before the addition of brandy to stop the fermentation. Remarkable freshness and minerality provided by the Quinta’s unique terroir, along with a steadfast desire to ensure that the brandy is well integrated means that all of Quinta de la Rosa's Ports are made in a drier ‘house style’ without any overpowering sweetness. Pretty dark pink in colour the Rosé Port shows seductive red fruits with hints of melon on the nose. On the palate, red apple and cherries combine wonderfully all the while maintaining La Rosa’s longer, drier finish than is customary with the style.[#intro]Made from the free run juice gathered from the making of Vintage Port; Pretty \u0026amp; Pink!...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quinta de la Rosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56051909624189,"sku":"NVQUINTADELAROSAROSE","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/RosePortBT.jpg?v=1747727224"},{"product_id":"kopke-10-year-old-tawny-port-gift-set-half-bottle-37-5cl","title":"Kopke 10 Year Old Tawny Port Gift Set | Half Bottle (37.5cl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the world's oldest and most revered Port House, Kopke (est. 1638), this is the quintessential aged Tawny, presented in a sophisticated wooden gift box.
