Description:
This is our version of the traditional fortified after-dinner wine. Ours is lighter than most, with warm, rich flavors of cherry and vanilla. The grape is the traditional Touriga Nacionale, with brandy added, bringing the alcohol content to 19.5%. A popular custom is to serve Port with Stilton cheese and walnuts for a last course. And, of course, a glass of Port with a good cigar is always a favorite pairing.

Varietal Definition
Touriga Nacional:
Found in California and South Africa, this fiercest and best of the port grapes has also been successfully transplanted to Australia for fortified wine production. The vine produces grapes with small, darkly-pigmented berries. Notorious for low yields, attributes like its intense rich fruit personality make this grape a highly-regarded and sought after varietal. In addition to being important in port production, it is also increasingly significant in the rich, red table wines of Portugal’s Dao and Douro valleys.
