vintage port
Mature Portuguese wine
Vintage port is a high-quality port wine from a single exceptional year, bottled after two or three years and aged further in the bottle rather than in wood.
Unlike tawny ports that blend multiple years, vintage port declares its harvest date and develops complexity over decades: The 1963 vintage port has finally reached its peak.
These bottles command premium prices and are meant for cellaring.
