product Details

Delaforce 1985 Vintage Port

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.

Delaforce was founded in 1834 and quickly became a renowned producer. In the late 1800s- early 1900s the company was distinguished with a warrant as supplier of Port to the Portuguese Royal Household. The company was acquired by the Taylor-Fladgate Fonseca group (The Fladgate Partnership) in 2001. 

1985 Vintage, Bottled 1987.
