Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

A sip of Fladgate Ruby Porto 750ml instantly envelops your senses with a rush of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice that lingers on the palate like velvet. Crafted in Portugal, this classic ruby port boasts an ABV of 20.00%, delivering both warmth and depth without overwhelming sweetness. Its vibrant fruit character finds perfect harmony alongside pungent blue cheese or the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate, making every pairing feel indulgent and memorable. The wine’s youthful energy comes from traditional aging in large oak vats, preserving its bold color and fresh berry flavors while allowing subtle notes of cocoa and dried fig to emerge with each glass.

Producer Information: Taylor Fladgate

Taylor Fladgate, established in 1692 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, stands as one of the oldest port houses with a continuous family tradition. Founded by Job Bearsley and later shaped by Joseph Taylor’s vision, the house is deeply rooted in the Douro Valley’s schistous terroir, where it sources grapes from its own quintas such as Vargellas and Terra Feita. Taylor Fladgate is distinguished for its unwavering focus on vintage ports and late bottled vintage (LBV) styles, employing time-honored foot treading methods in granite lagares to extract optimal color and tannin. Their philosophy centers on minimal intervention and long-term aging potential, resulting in wines that reflect both place and heritage. Beyond their iconic ports, Taylor Fladgate also produces dry white port and aged tawny expressions that highlight the diversity of Douro grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca.
