Poças Ruby Port from the Douro — aged for short periods in wood to retain freshness, with very rich aromas of ripe young fruits, strong and full-bodied with a long and persistent finish.
Tasting Notes
Aged for short periods in wood to retain freshness and youthful fruit character. Very rich aromas of ripe young fruits on the nose. Strong and full-bodied on the palate with a long, persistent finish. Ruby is the youngest and freshest style of Port — the short wood ageing preserves the vibrant red fruit character of the Douro's finest red varieties.
