  Dalva Ruby Portugal Port Wine 37,5 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865464-33337

  A Ruby loses its freshness faster than its older, brown relative once the cork is pulled - which is why it makes good sense that it also comes in a smaller format.

  Expert's Description

  Dalva Ruby 37.5 cl is a Portuguese Ruby Port in a half bottle, bottled at 19%.

  Ruby is aged briefly in large, near-airtight vessels to preserve its dark, fresh fruit and deep red colour, and because the style is more sensitive to air after opening than an older Tawny, the smaller format is a practical solution for anyone who won't get through a full bottle.

  The wine is a blend of young Douro grapes such as Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, chosen for their ability to hold onto colour and fruit through the short ageing period.

  Dalva is the Port brand of the house C. da Silva, founded in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1933 by Clemente da Silva, who registered the name Dalva as a contraction of his own surname.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh raspberry and wild strawberry with a hint of sweet berry compote.

  Palate

  Full and direct, with blackcurrant, cherry and a touch of dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Short, sweet and fruity finish.

  Did You Know?

  Because an opened Ruby loses its freshness faster than a Tawny, which is already shaped by years of oxygen contact, the half-bottle format makes good sense for anyone wanting a couple of glasses without the risk of the rest of the bottle losing its character before it's finished.

  Dalva Ruby Portugal Port Wine 75 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865464-33336

  The youngest member of the Port family guards its colour like a treasure - deep, dark ruby red, because it is never allowed to meet too much air.

  Expert's Description

  Dalva Ruby is a Portuguese Ruby Port, bottled at 19%.

  Ruby is aged in large vessels of concrete, steel or large oak vats, where minimal air contact preserves the fresh, dark fruit and the deep red colour - unlike Tawny, where contact with small casks is exactly the point.

  The wine is a blend of several young vintages of Douro grapes such as Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, chosen for their ability to hold onto fruit and colour through the short ageing period.

  Dalva is the Port brand of the house C. da Silva, founded in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1933 by Clemente da Silva. Although the house is best known for its Tawny and Colheita styles, Ruby remains a fixed part of the classic range.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Red berry compote of raspberry and wild strawberry, fresh and direct.

  Palate

  Harmonious and full, with blackcurrant and cherry, nuanced by chocolate and prune.

  Finish

  Sweet, fruity finish with lingering berry character.

  Did You Know?

  While Tawny is deliberately exposed to air in small casks to develop its brown colour, the opposite is done for Ruby - large, near-airtight vessels keep the wine as close to its original, dark colour as possible, resulting in the most berry-driven of the classic Port styles.

  Grahams Blend no 12 Ruby Port Wine Portugal 75 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280258

  Not every Port is built for the armchair and long reflection. Blend No. 12 is made for ice, tonic water and a summer evening where fruit is the first thing you notice.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Blend No. 12 Ruby Port is a Portuguese Ruby Port from the Douro Valley, matured in stainless steel and bottled at 19%.

  The Port is composed specifically to be drunk young and fresh, often on the rocks or mixed with tonic water. Unlike Graham's aged tawny styles, Blend No. 12 spends only a short time in stainless steel, which preserves the dark, fresh berry fruit and avoids the oxidative notes a cask-aged Port develops.

  Graham's was founded in 1820 by brothers William and John Graham and has belonged to the Symington family's portfolio of Port houses since 1970. Blend No. 12 is one of the house's newer releases, designed as an entry point to Port for drinkers more used to cocktails than dessert wine.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers fresh raspberries and strawberries, spiced with a touch of mountain herbs and dark chocolate.

  Palate

  The palate is lively and concentrated, with ripe cherries and plums, fresh acidity and a touch of pepper that gives direction to the berry-driven profile.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and light, closing with a hint of blackberry that makes the wine ideal for mixing.

  Did You Know?

  Blend No. 12 was developed specifically for mixing, including in the Portonic, a drink where Port is topped with tonic water and ice. The name 'No. 12' refers to the internal lot number the Port was given during development in Graham's cellars, a number that stuck when the wine went to market.

  Grahams Fine Ruby Port Portugal 19%

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03--0025

  There's a reason Ruby is the style most people meet first when they taste Port for the first time: fresh, direct and full of the same dark berry fruit that gave the wine its name.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Fine Ruby Port is a Portuguese Ruby Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19%.

  The Ruby style is aged for the shortest time of all Graham's Ports, precisely to preserve the fresh, dark berry fruit of the grapes. This short ageing means the wine keeps its deep ruby-red colour rather than developing the golden hues seen in a Tawny.

  Fine Ruby is the house's most accessible Ruby expression and serves as a natural entry point into Graham's other, more complex Ruby styles such as Six Grapes and Crusted.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is full of ripe red and black berries, with a touch of violets.

  Palate

  The palate is juicy with distinct black cherry, carried by a fine balance and fresh acidity.

  Finish

  The finish is intense and relatively long, closing with a last touch of dark fruit.

  Because Ruby Port is aged for such a short time, it's one of the few Port styles where the grape variety itself — rather than the cask — leaves the clearest mark on the flavour.

  Marthas Fine Ruby Port Wine 75 cl 19.5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-1118

  While the house's Tawny range is known for years spent in wood, Ruby takes the opposite path: a short spell in tank, bottled while the fruit is still at its ripest and juiciest. Martha's Fine Ruby Port is the most direct bottle in the range, deep cherry-red and built without detours.

  Expert's Description

  Martha's Fine Ruby Port is a Portuguese Ruby Port from the Douro Valley, matured in stainless steel and bottled at 19.5%.

  The grapes are pressed and fermented quickly, after which the wine rests in stainless steel for typically two to three years, far shorter than a Tawny. That halts the slow oxidation that would otherwise give amber tones, keeping instead the deep, near-opaque red colour and fresh berry fruit.

  Martha's Wine & Spirits traces back to 1727, when the family settled as grape growers in the Baixo Corgo district of the Douro Valley. Across generations the family has farmed the terraced slopes, and Ruby is the house's most accessible and direct expression of that legacy.

  The wine is a blend of traditional Douro grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão, harvested from vineyards around Baixo Corgo, where the warm, dry climate produces ripe, powerful berries.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark cherry and blackberry, with a light touch of black pepper.

  Palate

  Juicy and full-bodied, with dark berry fruit and a gentle sweetness carried by fresh, clear acidity.

  Finish

  Short to medium, clean and fruity, without heavy oak notes.

  Flavour Profile

  Fruity · Full-bodied · Berry · Young

  Did You Know?

  The name Ruby comes from its colour, reminiscent of the gemstone. To keep that deep red hue and fresh berry character, this style is deliberately bottled early, the shorter the time in tank, the more the flavour resembles freshly pressed grape juice rather than the dried fruit of an aged Tawny.

  Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage Portvin Portugal 19,5%

  Item no.: 222464-381

  Violets, black-pepper-soaked plums and a fresh, almost saline finish - the 2020 vintage from Quinta do Infantado is a Port with an edge.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage is a vintage Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

  The wine comes exclusively from the 2020 harvest and is made in the traditional way, with foot-treading and brief cask ageing before bottling for further maturation. The style is powerful yet fresh, with a green edge that plays against the sweet, black cherry and blackberry fruit.

  Behind the bottle stands Quinta do Infantado, founded in 1816 and run by the Roseira family since the late 1800s. In 1979 the estate became the first in the Douro Valley to bottle its own Port on site, a pioneering decision that still shapes its style today, with third-generation João Roseira overseeing both vineyard and cellar across the estate's 46 hectares.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers violets, black-pepper-soaked plums and a hint of tanned leather.

  Palate

  The palate is powerful yet fresh, with a light green edge to the sweet black cherry and blackberry fruit, spiced with a touch of coffee.

  Finish

  The finish is medium-dry and lightly saline, giving a surprising, taut edge to the otherwise generous fruit.

  Specifications

  Name: Quinta Do Infantado 2020 Vintage
  Winery: Quinta do Infantado
  Region/Country: Douro, Portugal

  Serving suggestion: Stand the bottle upright for a couple of hours before opening, serve at 16-17°C, ideally decanted

  Flavour Profile

  Black Cherry · Violet · Blackberry · Light Saline Finish

  Investment Potential

  The 2020 vintage from Quinta do Infantado has been highlighted by several international judgings, including gold at both the International Wine Challenge and the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Its powerful yet balanced style gives it natural potential to develop further over several years, making it relevant for anyone wanting to follow a vintage over time.

  Did You Know?

  Although Quinta do Infantado is now known for breaking with the large trading houses in Vila Nova de Gaia, the estate remains one of the smaller producers in the Douro Valley - the entire operation, from vineyard to bottle, runs on under 50 hectares, modest compared with the large Port houses.

  Quinta do Noval 10 year old Tawny Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 222278643-55

  Three miniature tasting glasses - white, ruby and tawny - gathered in one box, letting you experience the full range of a seven-generation estate in one sitting.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Estanho Gift Box is a gift set with three different Port wines in 5 cl bottles from the Douro Valley in Portugal, with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

  The box brings together three classic styles from the estate: a fine white Port, a fresh ruby Port and a cask-matured tawny, allowing you to taste your way through the range from young, fruit-driven Port to the more mature, nutty style, all in one gift set.

  Quinta do Estanho can be traced back to 1757, when the estate's wines were included in the very first official demarcation of the Douro region under the Marquis of Pombal. The estate sits on the left bank of the River Pinhão at around 300 metres altitude and has been family-owned across seven generations. Today it is run by the descendants of Jaime Acácio Queiroz Cardoso, who combine traditional foot-treading in stone lagares with modern cellar practices.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The three styles range from the white Port's bright, citrus-like aroma, through the ruby's fresh dark berries, to the tawny's nutty and caramel notes.

  Palate

  The white offers a light, almost dry fruitiness, the ruby is full with dark berry fruit, while the tawny shows roundness with dried fruit and nuts from its cask ageing.

  Finish

  Common to all three is a clean, balanced finish that shows the estate's craftsmanship without becoming heavy in a single 5 cl measure.

  Did You Know?

  Quinta do Estanho is named after the Portuguese word for tin, a mineral once mined in the area - a detail that still ties the estate's name to the very ground the grapes grow in, rather than to an owning family, as most other quintas are named.

  Quinta do Noval Fine Ruby Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-19934

  Dark berries and fresh fruit sit at the heart of this young Port from one of the Douro's most photographed vineyards. Here it's all about capturing the grape's energy while it's still young.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Fine Ruby Port is a Portuguese Ruby Port from the Douro Valley, aged in large oak vats and bottled at 19.5%.

  Unlike Tawny, Ruby Port is aged briefly in large, near-airtight vessels, so the wine keeps its deep red colour and fresh berry fruit rather than developing nutty and caramel notes. The blend is composed from several vintages to ensure a consistent, fruit-driven style.

  Quinta do Noval has produced Port on its own land since 1715, but it was only after António José da Silva rebuilt the estate in 1894 that the house's modern reputation as one of the Douro's leading producers truly took shape. Fine Ruby is one of the estate's best-selling bottles and serves as an accessible introduction to the style.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of ripe cherry, blackberry and a hint of violet.

  Palate

  The palate is juicy and direct, with blackcurrant and a touch of spice, carried by a pleasant sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is short to medium, clean and fruity with a final hint of dark chocolate.

  Quinta do Noval Gift Box – 4 Selected Ports from Portugal 4x37,5 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-10--82

  Four glasses, four styles, one house — this gift box is a shortcut through the world of Quinta do Noval, from dry and fresh to sweet and golden.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Gift Box is a Portuguese gift set with 4 selected Ports from the Douro Valley, each 37.5 CL and bottled at 19.5%.

  The gift set brings together four smaller bottles that, together, show the breadth of Quinta do Noval's range — from a fresh, young style to a more mature and rounded character. This makes the box ideal for anyone who wants to taste through several styles without opening four full bottles at once.

  Quinta do Noval has produced Port on its own land in the Douro Valley since 1715 and is today one of the most respected names in the trade, not least thanks to the legendary Nacional vineyard. The gift box is designed as an introduction to the house's styles and suits both newcomers and seasoned Port drinkers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose varies from bottle to bottle, but the set shares fresh fruit, dried nuts and a touch of caramel.

  Palate

  The palate ranges from light and fresh to full and round, depending on which of the four Ports is opened.

  Finish

  The finish differs from style to style, but is consistently clean and well balanced.

  Quinta do Noval Late bottled Vintage 2017 LBV Port wine 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03-005232

  Five years in cask before the bottle is even filled — that's the recipe behind an LBV, giving the power of the grapes time to settle. 2017 was a warm year in the Douro, and it shows in the glass.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage 2017 is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  LBV stands for Late Bottled Vintage and is made on the same principles as a classic Vintage Port — the grapes are trodden traditionally, and only the finest lots from a single year are used. The difference lies in the ageing: while a Vintage Port is bottled after just two years, an LBV matures for up to five years in cask before being bottled, unfiltered.

  2017 was another warm, dry year in the Douro Valley, giving grapes with high ripeness and concentration. Quinta do Noval has made LBV Ports for decades as a way of making the house's Vintage style more accessible without compromising on method.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is intense with dark berries, a touch of liquorice and a mild spiciness.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and complex, with juicy blackberry and blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a hint of mint.

  Finish

  The finish is long and broad, with soft tannins and a warm, spicy close.

  Quinta do Noval LBV Late bottled Vintage 2013 Ruby Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-19936

  2015 was one of those years when the Douro truly showed its strength, and the Silval vineyard yielded grapes with both power and elegance. The result is a young, lively Port that's already a pleasure to drink.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Silval Vintage 2015 is a Portuguese Vintage Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  Silval is the name of one of Quinta do Noval's own vineyards, separate from the legendary Nacional parcel, whose vines were never touched by phylloxera. The Silval grapes are trodden using the traditional method and made with the same care as the house's other Vintage Ports, but the wine is typically released at a more accessible price and enjoyed younger.

  2015 is recognised as one of the strong Douro vintages of the past decade, with warm, dry weather that gave grapes good concentration and ripeness. Silval Vintage 2015 is therefore an example of a Quinta do Noval wine where both power and finesse are present even at a young age.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is youthful and intense, with ripe dark berries, blackcurrant and a hint of violet.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with juicy blackberry, dark chocolate and firm yet rounded tannins.

  Finish

  The finish is long, spicy and full of dark fruit, with a fine acidity that keeps the wine fresh.

  Investment Potential

  Silval Vintage is a single-vineyard Vintage Port from a recognised year, and this type of bottle is regularly sought after by collectors wanting to follow a producer's development year by year. It is, however, more accessible than Quinta do Noval's absolute top wines and is expected to be enjoyed rather than cellared for decades.

  Did You Know?

  Right next to the Silval vineyard lies the legendary Nacional parcel, planted with ungrafted, phylloxera-resistant vines that Quinta do Noval has never replanted onto rootstock — one of very few places in the world where Port is still made from grapes on their own, original roots.
