The indication of age relates to an average number of years spent maturing in the barrel. The prolonged wood-ageing softens and mellows the wine, producing a wine that is lighter in colour, with amber shades and a flavour of nuts and dried fruits. Lovely lighter style of Port, delicious served lightly chilled, great as a long drink over ice. Appeals even to non-Port drinkers! Extremely versatile. | | Regional Information: | Port takes its name from the city of Oporto in Northern Portugal, but is produced in the sheer terraced vineyards of the Douro River valley, further inland towards the Spanish border.Temperatures range from 35 degrees C in the summer to below 0 in the winter; the rainfall can fall to drought conditions in summer - harsh conditions that lead to excellent concentration of fruit and produces wines of great power.The inaccessibility of the area means the vineyards are still tended and harvested by hand. |
