Store & Serve

Unopened and well-preserved, your vintage port wine can be kept for years. Store horizontally at a constant temperature of 15 ° C away from intense direct light. Vintage port wines from 50 to 60 years old are no exception. Because this wine is still ripening on the bottle, sediment can be formed with time, so that the wine has to be decanted before consumption, so when you approach the bottom of the bottle, carefully pour it

After decanting, the wine will quickly reach its peak and is best consumed during the course of the day.

Serve at 16- 18ºC
