Wine review: The cheeky, punch-packing ripe fruit of our Fine Ruby Port makes it the perfect Port for everyday, informal occasions. It’s versatile. We blend several young wines from a few different years to give our Fine Ruby the richness and the fresh fruit that you would expect of a zesty young Port. It is then matured for a few years in large vats, which gives it both its lovely softness and its ripe red fruits flavours. It also keeps the intense, deep purple colour of a nice and bright young Port.


My review: I personally am not a fan of port. Too sweet and too fruit-forward. Strongly aromatic of red fruits, sharp raspberries and red cherries. On the palate was a syrupy, viscous body holding some heat, tasting like cherry cough syrup. Low rating, but that's based on my palate. Many enjoy this port.
