Ruby & Ruby Reserve Port Wine FAQ's

Is there a difference between Ruby Port and Reserve Ruby Port?

Yes. Reserve Ruby is a step up in quality. It offers:

  • Longer ageing
  • More concentrated fruit
  • A smoother, more polished texture
  • Greater complexity
  • Stricter IVDP tasting‑panel approval

Ruby Port is simple and youthful; Reserve Ruby is richer and more refined.

How should I serve Ruby Port?

Slightly chilled at 14–16°C to enhance freshness and fruit character. Read our port wine serving temperature guide for more tips.

Does Ruby Port need decanting?

No - Ruby Ports are filtered and ready to drink. For detailed guidance, see our full guide to decanting Port.

How long does Ruby Port last once opened?

Typically 4-6 weeks if stored upright in a cool, dark place. For long‑term care, our Port storage guide covers everything you need to know.

What makes wines from the Douro Valley unique?

Wines from Portugal’s Douro Valley are known for their intense fruit character, rich structure and exceptional ageing potential. The region’s steep schist slopes, hot summers and low‑yielding vines create grapes with concentrated flavour, making the Douro ideal for both Port production and high‑quality still wines. This combination of climate, soil and traditional winemaking gives Douro wines their distinctive depth and complexity.

What are the main styles of Port and how do they differ?

Port comes in several styles, each offering a different flavour profile.

  • Ruby Port is vibrant and fruit‑forward, aged briefly to preserve freshness.
  • Tawny Port develops nutty, caramelised flavours through extended barrel ageing.
  • Vintage Port is powerful and structured, made only in exceptional years.
  • Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) offers vintage character with earlier drinkability.
  • White and Rose Ports provide lighter, aromatic alternatives ideal for mixing.
