product Details
Cockburn's 1955 Vintage Port
1955 Vintage; Bottled with the label and wax seal of Bury St. Edmunds wine merchant, Peathing & Cawdron.
Cockburn’s is one of the classic Port Houses, established by Scotsman Robert Cockburn in 1815, who returned to Portugal after first visiting the country as a soldier. It later became a major brand of port in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Vintage Port is a specific style of Ruby Port which is made only in exceptional years and from the ripest grapes. The fermented wine is fortified before being aged for 2 years in massive oak vats which preserve the ripe fruit character. Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for many decades.
