Full Bodied & FruityFine Ruby
Taylor Fladgate's Fine Ruby a blend of full bodied Port wines aged for around two years in large oak vats in Taylor Fladgate's cellars, or ‘lodges’, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
As they age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby colour. They are then blended together for balance and consistency. With its firm tannins and concentrated fruitiness, Fine Ruby is perfect for the classic port-and-cheese combination.
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.
