During the Christmas season we are always in a rush. Sometimes it gets really stressing and we end up buying some presents on the last minute.

Offering Port Wine. How does it sound?

There is no specific time to drink this magnificent wine, but it is actually a great Christmas gift given it is an aged one. It will perfectly pair with sweets, cheeses and dried fruits, but will also create a great environment on the table.

Here you have our suggestion:

Porto Burmester White

Porto Niepoort LBV 2011 

Porto Ramos Pinto Quinta do Bom Retiro 20 Years Old 

Porto Ferreira D. Antónia Reserva Tawny

Porto Real Companhia Velha Vintage 2011

Porto Fonseca Vintage 2000

Porto Sandeman The Spirit Ed. 225 Anniversary Vintage 2000

I have not finished all the bottle. Can I drink it later?

Of course. No problem. If it is a Vintage Port you should drink during the next 48 hours given it is a young wine. If it is any other type of Port you can keep it for 3-4 weeks after opened, as long as it is not next to the fireplace!

As Port Wine comes from Vinha,

Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
