Delaforce Portwein

Delaforce
Late Bottled Vintage Ports 2004

Delaforce LBVs are bottled after maturing in wood for up to six years, offering an early softness and development. As these Ports are only made available in those years when the harvest has been very good, they constantly produce a mature port of vintage quality, and are ready for drinking without requiring decanting (unlike the main Vintage Ports bottled at two years).

The Delaforce LBVs have won various awards for quality in prestigious international competitions, including gold medals in two successive years in the International Wine Challenge.

Delaforce 2000 Vintage Port
The warm and welcoming country of Portugal is the home of the famous vineyards of the Douro Valley, where Port is produced and with which six generations of the Delaforce family have been linked for over one hundred and seventy five years.

During that time, the House of Delaforce has become known for its distinctive quality and style, first gaining recognition in the 1870s with gold medals at the famous Paris Exhibitions, and then being appointed Purveyors to the Portuguese Kings in the 1890s and in the early 1900’s, a rare honour at that time.

The Delaforce House style which is ‘rich, elegant and fruity’ is evident in the entire Delaforce range.

Delaforce Fine Ruby Port
At the younger end of the Delaforce range, the Fine Ruby port has a bouquet that is fruity and full, and in the glass, it shows its deep ruby colour.

The taste is smooth and satisfying, with an average age of three years and this Fine Ruby represents very good value in terms of quality and price.
