2017 Vintage Port - Rum Barrel Aged Edition
WINEMAKER NOTES
Experience Vintage Port at its finest with this 2017 release, a masterful combination of Kiepersol’s estate-grown grapes and the time-honored methods of Solera aging.
This special edition has been elevated by a six-month finishing period in rum barrels from our distillery, adding a distinctive layer of complexity.
The wine’s creamy texture captures your attention, leading to an indulgent palate of chocolate-covered cherries, balanced by subtle hints of dried cranberry. The toasted vanilla and caramel notes from the oak meld seamlessly with a refreshing touch of orange zest, adding brightness to each sip.
The rum barrel finish imparts a delicate spice, creating an unforgettable and sought-after profile. While this Port will undoubtedly evolve and deepen with age, its vibrancy and rich flavor profile make it perfect to enjoy now with good friends and lively conversation.
