Crusted Port
(0)
|
| Crusted Port is a peculiarly British invention, and becoming increasingly popular. It is produced by British Port shippers to provide wines with a similar style to Vintage Port, but much quicker, and cheaper.
Essentially "Crusted Port" is a very fine non-vintage Ruby Port. It gets its name from the sediment, or ‘crust’ that forms at the bottom of the bottle as the wine ages, as in a Vintage Port. |

Port Styles...
|
|
However, the diversity of different styles offered by Port is certainly one of its greatest attractions. There are Ports for all occasions and budgets, from rare Vintage Ports for the fine wine collector to delicious and affordable wood aged styles for relaxed entertaining. Port, with its wealth of different characters and aromas, offers almost limitless opportunities for pairing with food and few wines can compete with it in richness of flavour.
The different styles of Port derive essentially from the various ways in which it can be aged. Its remarkable ageing potential and the fact that it is fortified mean that Port will continue to improve in cask, vat or bottle for much longer than most other wines. The choice of ageing period and ageing vessel will determine what the Port tastes like.
