Warre's 1980 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.

1980 Vintage; Bottled 1982.

Chardonnay from the renowned Grand Cru vineyard of Grenouilles, within the iconic French appellation of Chablis; Matured for 14-15 months including 5-6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels for around half of the cuvée.

The Grenouilles vineyard is the smallest Climat in the Chablis Grand Cru appellation, covering less than 10 hectares. 

Wine Society The Society's Crusted Port / Bottled 1972

Crusted Ports are Ruby Ports blended from multiple vintages, matured in oak casks for a period of approximately 3 years before being bottled without filtration. During normal filtration, grape sediment would be removed from the Port; without filtration, this sediment remains within the wine, eventually forming a solid crust which adds slight complexity. The premise behind Crusted Ports is to achieve a wine which falls somewhere between a normal Ruby and a Late Bottled Vintage Port in terms of complexity and flavour development.
