Port
Port
Port is a sweet, fortified wine produced exclusively in Douro Valley, Portugal. It is created by adding brandy to the wine during fermentation, halting the fermentation process early and retaining the natural grape sugars. This results in a dessert style wine with a higher alcohol content (19-22%) and intense fruit notes. Port can be ruby, tawny, white or rosé , all made from native Portuguese grapes such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz.
