Deep ruby in colour, offering a profusion of blackcurrant and cherry, laced with pepper, on both the nose and palate – supported by silken tannins. Sumptuous.
"Our sumptuous Ruby Port is skillfully blended by Wine & Soul, based in the Douro's beautiful Pinhao valley. Moreish blackcurrants laced with peppery spice.

“Ruby ports are the youngest ports, so, whereas you don’t get that lush, unctuous taste of a port that has been maturing for decades, you do get flavours that are young, fresh and bursting with fruit. This example, produced for Corney & Barrow by Douro husband-and-wife team Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva, has almost peppery notes of bramble and dark fruit, along with smooth tannins and a long finish. It’s faultless after-dinner fare.”

WINE & SOUL
Sandra Tavares da Silva and husband Jorge Serodio Borges already had pretty impressive CVs when, in 2001, they embarked on Wine & Soul, their own project in Portugal's Pinhão Valley.
Portugal is on a roll – well overdue. Loved by the Press and, despite the rate of exchange, offering great value, it is also a low wine-miles alternative to imports from further afield.
