Taylor’s Fine Ruby is a blend of full-bodied Port wines aged for around two years in large oak vats in Taylor’s cellars, or ‘lodges’, in Vila Nova de Gaia. As they age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness and intensity.

Appearance: Youthful ruby colour.  They are then blended for balance and consistency. With its firm tannins and concentrated fruitiness, Fine Ruby is perfect for the classic port-and-cheese combination.

Nose: Stylish fruity nose, full of intense concentrated blackcurrant and cherry aromas.

Taste: Full-bodied and firm, the palate is crammed with luscious black fruit flavours.

Food pairings: It is particularly good with blue-veined and richly flavoured soft cheeses.  It also pairs well with berry fruit and dark chocolate flavours and, like all red Ports, makes an excellent after-dinner drink.

About the producer: Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor's is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles. Above all, Taylor's is regarded as the benchmark for Vintage Port.
