Warre’s, founded in 1670, was the first British port producer established in Portugal; he is therefore the pioneer of a great tradition and his history merges with that of the port itself. Warre’s ports are distinguished by their structure, elegance and delicate nose. They have a particularly fresh and elegant style.

Production notes

Manual harvest, from the end of August to September. Fermentation takes place between 24 and 28 ° C. When the wort has reached the desired sugar level (normally 48 hours), it is fortified with brandy. The wine is then aged in oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. The designation 10 years or 20 years means the average age of the wines of the blend.

Tasting notes

Brick red color. Aroma of hazelnut, honey, caramel, with great finesse and elegance. Superb balance, rich, unctuous, melted, very long and complex on the finish. Great with cheeses, nuts or dried fruit, crème brûlée or hazelnut or chocolate cake. Serving temperature: 14 to 16 ° C
