About Ruby Reserve:

Ruby Reserve Port is a young and vibrant wine, aged for 6 years in wooden casks. Unlike Tawnys, Ruby retains its deep ruby colour and intense aromas of fresh fruit, offering a younger and fruitier profile.

Van Zellers Tradition - 400 Years:

The Van Zeller family, with 400 years of tradition in the Douro, selects the best grapes for this Ruby Reserve. Each bottle represents 15 generations of knowledge and dedication to the art of producing Port Wine.

Winemaking Process:

Made from traditional and indigenous red grapes, hand-picked in different sub-regions of the Douro. The grapes are foot-trodden in ancient granite lagares and ferment in the same lagares for 2 to 5 days. When the must reaches the desired residual sugar level, wine spirit is added to stop fermentation. Aged for 6 years in old wooden vats with capacities between 600 and 10,000 litres.

Tasting Notes:
