Fonseca "Bin 27" Port (Portugal)

Port is a Portuguese fortified wine produced in the Douro Vally of northern Portugal. It is typically a sweet red wine, often served as a dessert wine and comes in dry, semi-dry and white varieties.
Port is also produced outside of Portugal in many other countries.


Fonseca "Bin 27" Port is chocolaty and plush, displaying good concentration with hints of plum, mocha and dark cherry flavors with hints of paprika accents. Very fruity, with raspberry notes, on the finish.


Fortified wine is wine to which a distilled beverage (usually Brandy) has been added. Fortified wine is distinguished from spirits made from wine in that spirits are produced by means of distillation, while fortified wine is simply wine that has had a spirit added to it. Many different styles of fortified wine have been developed, including port and sherry.
