Porto Wines There are 20 products.
Port Wine is a fortified wine, as defined in EU legislation. It is produced in the Demarcated Region of the Douro under very specific conditions resulting from natural and human factors. The winemaking procedures, based on traditional methods, include stopping the fermentation of the must by adding grape brandy (benefÃcio), making up lots of wine and ageing the wine.
Port Wine stands out from ordinary wines due to its unique characteristics: an enormous variety of types that surprise us with the wealth and intensity of their incomparable aromas, a highly persistent aroma and flavour, a high alcohol content (usually between 19 and 22% vol.), a vast range of degrees of sweetness and a assortment of colours. There is a set of categories that identify the different types of Port Wine.
1. Ruby Style: Bottled matured
a) Ruby Reserve Port; b) Late Bottled Vintage Port (LBV); c) Vintage Port; d) Port (Vintage) Single Quinta Vintage
2. Tawny Style: Wood matured
