Vista Alegre Vintage Port 1996 - Enjoy a Unique and Timeless Wine

Vista Alegre Vintage Port 1996 is an exquisite port wine from Portugal, produced in a traditional winemaking process. This special vintage is a blend of seven grape varieties, made with a careful selection of the finest grapes. The grapes are hand-picked and put through a partial stripping process before the fermentation occurs with temperature control and is stopped by adding brandy (firewater).

The result is a port wine with a dark blue colour, juicy and dark berry aromas, and a medium body that offers a pleasant and promising finish. Due to its perfect ageing potential, if stored under the right conditions, Vista Alegre Vintage Port 1996 can be kept for more than 30 years.
