Tasting Notes:

This Port exudes opulence and depth. Its deep, rich red hue is a prelude to a symphony of aromas - candied cherry, dried fig, intertwined with undercurrents of chocolate, tobacco, and a whisper of leather. On the palate, full-bodied and luscious, culminating in a subtly sweet finish that lingers.

Winemaker's Notes:

Introducing our Port, a wine that mirrors the palate of my wife, Rebecca, and the essence of our journey. Inspired by Rebecca's fondness for appassimento-style, port-like wines, we embarked on a quest to craft a wine that truly resonates with her tastes. Leveraging our experience with spirit-making for our Sherry, we ventured into the realm of fortified wines. Utilizing our own distilled spirits, we fortified the Port, integrating it into a meticulously crafted solera system.

Food Pairings:

This wine's rich tapestry of flavors offers versatility in pairing. It finds harmony with robust cheeses and nuts, while its depth complements a spectrum of desserts, from spiced cakes to decadent chocolate. It's equally at home accentuating savory dishes or as a contemplative accompaniment to a fine cigar.
