WINE DESCRIPTION
Warre's Vintage Port is a premium fortified wine produced by Warre's, one of the oldest and most respected Port houses in Portugal's Douro Valley. This wine is made from grapes grown in the region's finest vineyards, which are known for their steep slopes and schist soils that impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including foot treading and aging in oak barrels, which result in a rich, full-bodied wine with intense fruit flavors and a long, smooth finish. Warre's Vintage Port is a classic example of the style, with its deep ruby color, complex aromas of black fruit and spice, and firm tannins that ensure it will age gracefully for decades.

Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
