Quinta da Silveira Reserve Ruby Port

This hand-crafted Ruby port is full and rich with aromas of raspberries, cherries, red plums with some chocolate and spice adding complexity. Juicy and sweet on the palate, with good finish. Unfiltered.

Located in the Valley of Vilariça in the Douro Valley, Quinta da Silveira has been owned by the same family for the past couple of centuries. Silveira boasts 70 hectares of vineyards with the best varieties used for the production of Port and Douro DOC wines. Over recent years they have built a new winery and are producing wines of the highest order. Winemaker Rodrigo Martins enjoys using traditional methods including grapes crushed by feet and fermented in traditional open tanks (lagares) using only natural yeasts. Wines are aged in top quality French oak barrels.

"Mid Garnet. Masses of character here! This is very far from a regular Ruby Port. You can taste the oak aging and that is a much wider range of flavours than just sweetness and alcohol. But the palate is much fresher than the nose. Sweet liquorice and long finish - the charm is all on the end. Long!" - Jancis Robinson December 2021
