What are the types of Port wine?

The brand LEESON red wine from Yuncang Winery shared that Portugal is a wine-producing country famous for its "Port wine", and Port wine is the "national wine" of Portugal. If you want to truly understand Portuguese wine, you must not get around Port wine. Port is a fortified wine native to Portugal and a popular wine favorite. Port wine is generally high in alcohol due to the addition of brandy spirits. The taste offers aromas of caramel, berries, chocolate and spices.

Port wine in Portugal comes from three sub-regions of the Douro River, namely Korhogo Lower, Korhogo Alto and Premium Douro.

The LEESON red wine brand of Yuncang Winery shares the quality of port wine varieties. The key factor is the grape variety, but the deciding factor is aging. The specific types of Port wine are also classified according to the aging method, which are barrel-aged port and bottle-aged port.

Barrel Aged Port: The resulting wine is aged in barrels at the winery and ready to drink immediately after bottling. These wines are clarified, filtered, and simply corked. Much simpler than bottle-aged port before drinking.

Aged Port in Bottle: The wine needs to continue aging in the bottle, so it is sealed with a cork. This type of wine is generally used for collection. Proper storage conditions are required during the long aging period in the bottle. When bottling, the sediment in the wine is not filtered out, so this type of Port wine needs to be decanted when it is opened for drinking.

There are many types of port wine, including tawny, ruby, white port and rosé port.

Ruby red port wine is the most basic and the most produced port wine. It is cheaper and suitable for drinking when young.

Tawny port wine is the most popular type of port wine. It has been aged for more time in oak barrels, showing spicy flavors, less fruit flavor, and the wine is amber or tawny in color.

White port wine is brewed from white grape varieties. The process is the same as that of red port. It generally has the characteristics of fruity aroma. It is usually used to make cocktails, and it can also be aged in different years.

Rosé port wine is a relatively newly invented port wine. It is fermented in a similar way to rosé wine. The skins are soaked for a short time, so the color of the wine is very light. It is a port wine full of fruity aroma and easy to drink. The above Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shared, welcome to communicate and share.
