A flash of dark berries and freshly pressed fruit – young, direct and without detours, exactly how a Port should taste when it has not spent years asleep in wood.
Expert's Description
Martha's Fine Ruby Port is a young ruby-coloured Port in a 5 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 19%.
Unlike the aged Tawny Ports, the Ruby style is kept in stainless steel tanks for a short period to preserve the fresh berry fruit and deep red colour before bottling.
Martha's Wine & Spirits has made wine in Baixo Corgo since the family settled there as grape growers in 1727, and the Ruby style shows a different, more youthful side of the house than its well-known aged Tawny Ports.

Finish
Medium length finish with warm, macerated berry notes and a hint of dark chocolate.

Did You Know?
While Tawny Port matures oxidatively in wood for years, the Ruby style is deliberately kept only briefly in stainless steel, precisely to preserve its fresh fruit.
