Pleasant pink colour with cherries on the nose. Very sweet and youthful with fresh and lively cherry flavours predominating.

Poças Pink

This port had a deep red colour halfway between claret and dark cherry. The nose was not striking but hinted at cherries. Similar to the nose on tasting a somewhat characterless wine was revealed. There were hints of richness and fruit flavours but nothing really stood out.

Martha's Pink

Deep cherry red colour with rich grapey nose. This port was satisfyingly full bodied having rich berry flavours combined with more than a hint of black cherry.

Quinta Santa Eufémia Rosé

Quinta Santa Eufémia Rosé

 Clear light ruby coloured in appearance, there was a fairly rich nose redolent of cherries. This was a rich rosé with fresh red grape flavours predominating over hints of cherries and strawberries. Although richer than many rosé ports the flavours were so harmonious that the end result was a very fine port indeed.

Now how do I get to photograph the bottle before it is half gone? I must get myself more organised!

Deep reddish pink colour. Predominantly cherry on the nose. The cherry theme continued in the taste which was rich with an appropriate level of sweetness. We were informed that the grape variety elegance had been used to produce this distinctive port.

Kopke Rose Port

Kopke Rose Port

Bright pink colour with a slightly grapey nose. This port was refreshingly on the dry side of sweet coming across like rose wine on steroids. The main impression was of fresh summer berries especially strawberries.

In fact we took a bottle of this home with us and my good wife used some in a strawberry and port ice cream that was scrumptious.
