1970 Manuel De Almeida Martha Garrafeira Particular Porto Porto

Description

Until about 1756, the production of “vinhos de embarque,” as Port wines were then called, followed the so‑called “old process” of winemaking. The fortification, always in small volumes, took place only after fermentation finished, producing dry wines. In 1820, the modern fortification process emerged, where the alcohol fermentation was deliberately stopped, resulting in sweet wines. This production method only became widespread in 1852, at which point Port wines began to resemble those we know today. Thus, Port wine is a liqueur‑style wine, produced in the Demarcated Region of the Douro under conditions derived from natural and human factors. The production process, rooted in tradition, involves halting the must’s fermentation by adding grape spirit, bottling the wines, and then aging them. Port wines are divided into different categories according to the type of aging, ranging among Ruby, Tawny, White, and Rosé styles. The bottling year may not correspond to the image shown.
