Vieira de Sousa Fine Ruby Port

Vieira de Sousa Fine Ruby Port is a young red Port from the Douro Valley, blended by a family Port house from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz. It is the fresh, fruity side of Port: easy to open, easy to share, and a very good first bottle if you are new to Portuguese fortified wine.

Tasting notes

Bright ruby in the glass. Red fruit on the nose with a note of plum, then a round, generous palate with soft tannins. The grapes come from vines over 40 years old on schist and are trodden by foot before the wine is aged in stainless steel to keep the fruit intact. 19.5% vol.

Food pairing

Try it with dark chocolate, a slice of Queijo da Serra or a ripe blue cheese, red fruit tarts, or simply with a bowl of roasted almonds after dinner.
