RESERVE PORT
The wine style is operated on a solera system started in 1992 where the barrels are never emptied. This wine has been matured in barrels for an average of 8 + years, the base wine is a blend of red and white grapes fortified with high strength alcohol. As the wine matures the colour gradually takes on a tawny colour and develops a sweet nutty character. Alcohol is normally about 18% v/v. Much of the wines development has already occurred in the barrel so this wine is ready to drink but can be cellared for many more years. The wine is sweet, complex and shows the typical rancio character of a good tawny port, and is an excellent way to end any good meal, or entertainment. To be enjoyed in moderation. This wine can be stored after opening in a decanter for months with no adverse effects. This wine has used the screw top closure to preserve fresh fruit flavours or allow the wine to age gracefully and reach its full potential with no bottle variation.
