Wine Description

João Portugal Ramos and his friend José Maria Soares Franco, both renowned winemakers in Portugal, started the Duorum project in the Douro in 2007. Here they make this delicious young Ruby Port. The idea behind this wine is to create a Ruby Port that everyone can enjoy, easy to taste and easy to drink. A nice introduction to the delicious world of Port wine!

Ruby Port is a sweet Port Wine from the Douro Valley. It gets its name from a brilliant red hue and the sweet flavors of red fruits. It is typically made by blending wines from multiple vintages - quite unlike vintage Port.
