IntenseRuby 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.
This is a fruit driven wine with a deep red colour that should be enjoyed right away in order to preserve its freshness.

Round, full bodied and smooth, but displaying an attractive firmness, the palate is crammed with luscious red and black berry flavours. The perfect accompaniment for a rich blue cheese, dark chocolate truffles or a berry fruit based dessert.
