Winemaker Tasting notesOur Special Reserve still has the lusciously ripe, vibrant fruit of youth and lovely tannins, which give it the slightly peppery spice on the tongue. But it also has the elegance of age: the softness and smoothness that can only be achieved by slow ageing in old oak barrels. That’s what puts the Special in Special Reserve.
AwardsIn the last few years, some of the most prestigious international wine competitions have given our Special Reserve resounding praise, with 6 Silver medals in the last three years in all. Special Reserve is officially the world’s number one choice of Reserve Port. And don’t take our word for it. It’s what some of the most highly regarded wine experts have said in the most important blind tastings.
