Pitters. One of the world’s great Port wines
Pitters White Port
- Pitters White Port is a blend of wines produced from white rapes grown in the Douro Valley. The wines are aged in oak vats for about three years, where they acquire mellowness and character. They are blended to produce a rich white Port in the traditional smooth, full - bodied style.
Pitters Tawny Port
- Pitters Tawny Port ages in small wooden casks, generally holding about 630 litres. As it matures in cask, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' colour of youth and takes on the seductive amber hue known as 'tawny'.
Pitters Ruby Port
- Pitters Ruby Port is a blend of wines produced from red grapes grown in the Douro Valley . The wines are aged for three years in large wooden vats where they soften and develop without losing their fresh, intense fruity character and their deep ruby colour.
Pitters 10 Year Old Tawny
- Pitters 10 Year Old Tawny Port ages in small wooden casks, generally holding about 630 litres. As it matures in cask, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' colour of youth and takes on the seductive amber hue known as 'tawny'.
RECIPESHow to enjoy
Port wine is a highly versatile style of drink which can be enjoyed with a variety of food types. A glass of chilled wine port makes a superb refreshing aperitif, or as part of a simple cocktail with tonic water and a twist of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint.
A richer, full bodied ruby port with its firm tannins and concentrated fruitiness pairs wonderfully with chocolate-based desserts.
