Vintage Port 2007

We are listing a selection of Vintage Ports from the newly declared 2007 vintage.

2007 will be remembered particularly for its cool, damp summer which caused an outbreak of mildew in the Douro, which meant that vineyard owners needed to work hard to ensure this did not have to much of an adverse effect on the crop. A nice long period of sunshine in September and October allowed ripening to proceed normally, and although a bit later than usual, the vintage took place under perfect conditions, the fruit being beautifully balanced with none of the raisining that can sometimes be expected in hotter and drier years. Quantities produced by all the Port Houses are substantially down so we do need confirm any order placed as quantities available wil be limited.

Delivery of the 2007 vintage will be at the start of 2010 once the wine has been bottled and shipped to the UK
