When selecting a bottle intended to be opened 18 or 21 years later, Vintage Port stands out as the most traditional and reliable option.
- Exceptional ageing potential: Vintage Port is one of the few wines made to improve over decades. Properly cellared, it develops deeper flavours, more complexity, and a velvety smoothness with time.
- Deep-rooted tradition: For generations, families in Britain have celebrated a birth or christening by laying down a case of Vintage Port for the future.
- Emotional significance: The bottle becomes more meaningful as the years pass, creating a shared story between the giver and the child.
- Potential value increase: Vintages from respected houses and good harvest years can appreciate in financial value as well as in quality.
