Special Reserve is matured in oak vats for up to four years before being bottled. This longer wood-ageing gives its full-bodied palate a distinctive dry finish, making it the benchmark for all Reserve Ports. Rich and concentrated red fruit aromas with bright red cherry and hints of plum and strawberry. Sweet and well-rounded, luscious red berry flavours lead to a distinctive peppery and slightly dry finish. Savour this wine in a large wine glass at room temperature, or slightly chilled in warm weather to appreciate its power and depth. Perfect served at the end of a meal or during your favourite Netflix special. Does not need to be decanted. Consume within four to six weeks of opening
Special Reserve pairs perfectly with cheeses or rich, nutty, or chocolate desserts.
