Port Blend

Port Blend

The Port Blend grape is a captivating variety of grape predominantly grown in the Douro Valley of Portugal, but its fame is globally recognised as the ingredients behind the indulgent Port wine. It is a colourful assortment of different grape variants lovingly cultivated in the blend to produce that sophisticated and complex flavour found in a traditional glass of Port.

The Port Blend Grape comprises of both red and white grape varieties, though the red ones are predominantly preferred. The red grape variants include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Cao, amongst others. These form the backbone of the opulent and richly flavoured Port wines.

The Port Blend grape isn't characterised by a unified set of characteristics because it is the harmonious merging of different grape varieties that makes the Port Blend distinctive. Nevertheless, the different types of grapes curated in the blend do showcase similar traits. For instance, the thick-skinned nature of the grapes, especially found in Touriga Nacional, is key to the deep, intense colour of the Port wine and imparts longevity to the taste.

Port Blend wines offer a wide array of flavours and a rich, velvety sweetness that makes them universally appealing to wine connoisseurs and novices alike. Depending on the style of Port and duration of ageing, the wines may exhibit fragrances of berry fruit, plum, fig, chocolate or even savoury undertones.

An excellent choice for the winter months or as an after-dinner drink, the Port Blend grapes are characteristically known for producing full-bodied wines with high alcohol content. The world’s devotion for Port wine, rich and sweet in style, testifies to the craftmanship of cultivating Port Blend grapes and using them to produce an indulgent elixir of lasting impression. A true celebration of opulence, the Port Blend grape marvelously showcases the poetry of combinations.
