Ports

A 2015 Late Bottled Vintage from Sandeman that offers notes of ginger, clove, plums, dates and blackberries on the palate.

This is the last of the Niepoortland trio which is a series inspired by Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland. White Rabbit is Dirk's white port; a fresh fruity expression with a nutty finish that is amazing on a hot summer day served over ice with a splash of tonic.

An intensely fruity 2016-vintage port from Croft, with aromas of strawberries, blackcurrants, eucalyptus and rose petals. The palate offers notes of red berries, dried fruit, garden hersb and rich tannins.

A 30-year-old tawny port from Graham's, matured in oak casks for a concentrated flavour with more restrained sweetness than in younger wines.

A bottle of Taylor's 10-year-old tawny port in a gift tube. The name tawny port comes from the colour the wine turns after wood ageing and the style gives a nuttier taste of port. Delightful with Stilton, or indeed on its own as a post-prandial drink.

Once described as 'the benchmark for 10-year-old tawnies' by American wine critic James Suckling, this is a full-bodied port with aromas of dried apricots, citrus peel, toffee and honey, with succulent fruit flavours and a long, nutty finish. This port, blended from wines averaging 10 years in age, has many of the hallmarks of aged tawny ports, including complex aromas, notable freshness and refinement. Pair it with cheeses and puddings, or serve lightly chilled as an aperitif.

This 1970 single harvest port is the seventh release in Taylor's Very Old Single Harvest series, matured for five decades in seasoned oak casks. It offers notes of wood shavings, cigar leaf, balsam and citrus that develop into marzipan, walnut, rich coffee and dark fruits on the palate. Try pairing this port with crème brûlée or soft cheeses.

A superb 30-year-old tawny port from the legendary house of Taylor Fladgate and Yeatman. Wonderful complexity allied with a delicate touch make this a superb wine for the end of a meal.

A 1985 vintage Port from Warre's that offers notes of dried fruits, cinnamon, plums and dark berries throughout the palate.

This 2004-vintage Guimaraens Port from Fonseca is a fruity, balanced Port, with fresh aromas of blackberries filling the nose. The palate offers notes of dark berries, chocolate, rich spices and toasted oak. This gift set comes with a funnel for easy decanting.
