Quinta do Portal 29 Grapes

Quinta do Portal 29 Grapes


At a recent visit to Quinta do Portal I asked for a couple of bottles of 27 Grapes as it is a reserve ruby to which I am particularly partial. I was informed that they didn't sell 27 Grapes but they did have some 29 Grapes! So now it contains another two grape varieties.

There was a deep ruby colour with a rich grapey nose. It had a rich smooth fruity taste coupled with a warm, deep body and a hint of spice. This remains one of my favourite examples of this type of port.
