When a year has been exceptional, some top port houses or quintas will declare it as vintage. This will usually take place around 3 times a decade, where the wine is aged for 2 years in oak barrels before being bottled. Some wines then require 15 years of aging to reach their best quality, while others continue to improve for many more years.
Corks Out has an extensive range of fine vintage ports to buy online , from many different vintage years and port producers. If you’re looking for a collector’s item or a special year for a birthday present you are sure to find something to suit every taste and budget.
Vintage Port style
Vintage port can vary greatly between years and producers. As each bottle contains a blend of the very best wines from the finest plots, this can lead to a diverse selection of tastes and aromas being present.
However, all have a fine and long-lasting style complete with a sweet yet spicy richness, intense power and an incredible complexity in flavour. The aging process also allows the tannins, alcohol and fruit to combine together harmoniously and create a great balance of rich flavours.
