product Details

Dow's 1963 Vintage Port

Vintage Port is a specific style of Ruby Port which is made only in exceptional years and from the ripest grapes.  The fermented wine is fortified before being aged for 2 years in massive oak vats which preserve the ripe fruit character.  Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for many decades.

Shipped and bottled by Hedges & Butler of London.

1963 is widely regarded as one of the standout vintages for Port in the 20th Century.
