Ramos Pinto – The Jewel of Douro
Port or port wine is a sweet fortified wine made from the grapes that grow in the upper part of the Douro wine region in Portugal. Fortified means that its alcohol content is increased, similar to sherry, by the addition of a grape spirit. Although there are some white types of port, most of them are purple, ruby or brick red. Why so many colours? The colour depends on how long the wine has matured.
Perhaps the most famous port is the port of Ramos Pinto from the Douro region of Portugal, where the port also originates. The tawny version of said port is extremely popular in our store. Why not try if the RP 20 Tawny Port Gift Box would be to your liking? It has a tawny colour with a yellow halo that signifies an advanced stage of maturity. This is the genuine colour of a 20-year-old cask-aged wine. It has a warm red colour with a slight orange tone at the bottom of the glass.
Or is perhaps ruby port more suitable for you? A sweet wine of a vivid dark red colour with intense aromas of cherry, blackberry and raspberry, and with a long, intense aftertaste. By choosing a ruby port, matured in large wooden barrels or concrete tanks, you will get a distinctly fresh and fruity wine that will go well with lighter but still sweet enough desserts.
Is a special occasion around the corner?
We recommend a category of port called vintage. It is made from wines of exceptional vintages, bottled after two years of maturation in wood, with a century-old longevity in the bottle. And one of its best representatives in our store is Vintage 2003 Savedra Port. The ruby-red port with a purple hue, whose fruity notes are reminiscent of ripe blackberries and blueberries, cloves and dried tobacco leaves, is full-bodied and generous in taste with strong tannins.
Common questions
How to serve port and with what?
Tawny ports, which boast a maturation period of 10, 20 or even 40 years, do not need to be decanted, as no sediment accumulates in them. It is best to drink them as close as possible to the bottling date, which can usually be found on the label. Unlike other ports, which are served at room temperature, tawny ports are best served slightly chilled.
Port or port wine is one of the so-called fortified wines, which include sherry. It is usually a sweet red wine, although there are also white and dry varieties, with an alcohol content of about 20%.
For this reason, it is a wine that is drunk on special occasions, in small quantities. Due to its strong sweetness, it can be combined with desserts, but is also often served on its own. Port and sherry go well with dark chocolate, and port itself also with cheeses with noble mould, which in combination with a quality wine become even more noble.
What is the tradition of passing the port?
Have you ever heard of the old drinking tradition “Pass the Port” that originates from the old British naval habit of serving port? If you haven’t, let us tell you what it is: a vintage port, which is always freshly opened, is first poured into a decanter and then passed around the table. The guests must not put down the decanter until it is empty.
