Portugal in Tube Ruby Port (Tasting Tube)

Portugal in Tube Ruby Port is a young red Port wine from the Douro valley, sold in a single tasting tube. Ruby is Port at its fruitiest, the best place to start if you want to understand the style.

Tasting notes

Ruby Port is aged for a short time, often in large vats, to keep its deep red colour and fresh fruit. Expect blackberry, cherry, plum and a touch of chocolate, with a sweet, warming finish.

Food pairing

Pair it with dark chocolate, a chocolate mousse, a Stilton-style blue cheese or a cheese board with quince paste.
