Vinho do Porto

Vinho do Porto, commonly known as Port wine, is a rich, sweet fortified wine from Portugal's Douro Valley. It’s made from a blend of grape varieties and is intentionally fortified with grape spirits (brandy) during fermentation, which halts the process early to preserve its natural sugars, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied wine with higher alcohol content. Port wine is typically enjoyed as a dessert wine, known for its deep flavors of ripe fruits, spices, and nuts. It comes in various styles, including Ruby, Tawny, and Vintage, each offering different taste profiles and aging potentials.
