Port & sweet wines from Portugal

Tiefroter Wein aus der Flasche wird in ein schräg gehaltenes Weinglas geschenkt, dahinter liegen Weintrauben und Käsewürfel

The original from Portugal, port has always been regarded as an exclamation mark of refined enjoyment culture. In good ports, acidity and structure are finely balanced. Depending on the quality, they age for varying lengths of time in barrels and in the bottle. White port is available in qualities ranging from "very dry" to "very sweet."

In contrast to the ruby red port, the white port has honey to golden yellow tones when aged in wooden barrels. As then, so today, the grapes for the famous Portuguese port primarily grow in the Douro region near the city of Porto. The varieties Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, and Tinto Cão thrive particularly well for red port wine, and Malvasia Fina, Codega, and Rabigato are used for white port wine.
