Port Essentials
110.00€
We are well aware of the fame that Port wine has across the globe. However, Port wine categories are still to be understood and appreciated in all their capacity since consumers believe that trying them all is an expensive task.
The Port Essentials pack showcases two representatives of the Tawny family (Colheita and 10 Years) and one representative of the Ruby family (LBV – Late Bottled Vintage). Three essential Port wines for experts and enthusiasts.
Included in this pack
Poças Colheita Port
Poças Colheita Port
Poças is one of the rare Port wine companies of Portuguese origin - most existing companies are associated to English families - and it continues to be owned by the same family for more than 100 years. Its wines are widely known and appreciated and especially when it comes to Colheita Port Wines it clearly stands out from the competition. We've chosen Poças Colheita 2000 because the year 2000 was an iconic year for grand Port wines and it also allows us to showcase a wine that has already 20
years of evolution in wooden barrels. It presents a mahogany colour with an incredible aroma of marmalade, dried figs and nuts. The mouth aligns in perfection with the nose, with volume, some
roasting notes and a very long ending. It pairs perfectly with desserts based in nuts, caramel or even chocolate.

Taylor's Tawny 10 Years Old Port
Taylor's Tawny 10 Years Old Port
Taylor's is one of the most prestigious Port wine brands in the world. This wine is an amazing 10 years representative, being a blend of differently aged wines that are matched to obtain a wine that is in transition from red fruits to nuts. It reveals a rich bourdeaux colour and a rich aroma that combines wild ripe fruits with nuts (raisins, fig and sour cherry) and caramel. In the mouth it is silky, with ripe flavours that bring to the memory jam and figs and that stretch to a lasting finale. It should be paired with nut and/or almond desserts as well as caramel or chocolate.

Quinta do Crasto LBV Port
Quinta do Crasto LBV Port
Quinta do Crasto is one of the most renowned still wine producers in the country and has also become increasingly successful in the creation of memorable Port wines. The Quinta do Crasto LBV 2015 is a Port wine that is very close to a Vintage. It presents dark violet colour and an intense aroma to red fruits, ripe black fruits and some balsamic (mint, especially). It has an excellent volume and a solid structure
with firm tannin and a lasting ending. Should be paired with red fruit desserts and chocolate.
