Warre's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2003 is matured for four years in oak cases & then for a minimum of a further four years in its own bottle prior to sale. Prolonged bottle-ageing in the Warre's cellars is fundamental of this very fine Port, setting it apart from other late bottled vintage ports which are mostly aged only in wood. Bottled in 2007. ...

Warres was alone for many years in continuing to make LBV in the same way as it had been made for generations; bottled without any fining or filtration after some 4 years of ageing in cask. This Port is then matured in bottle for at least another 4 years. This prolonged bottle ageing is crucial to the development of the superb nose & flavour which lend this Port a style & complexity very much akin to that of Vintage Port. Warres LBV is generally acknowledged to be the finest of its type. Food pairing suggestion: This wine is superb with cheese, nuts & dried fruits after a meal. ...

Warre's has established itself as one of the most forward thinking Port producers, balancing its long tradition with total dedication to premium quality & successful innovation. Warre's launch of Otima 10 & 20 Year Old Tawny caused a revolution in Port that introduced a completely new concept to consumers, helping to rejuvenate Port's image in the main markets. Otima is now widely acknowledged as the most successful new development in the Port trade for over 25 years. The merit of Otima was to show Port's versatility as an all year round, anytime drink, appealing to both women & men, dispelling many of the myths attached to Port. The clean, modern design was matched by an excellent wine that has been winning Gold & Silver medals at the world's leading blind tasting competitions year after year, leaving no doubt that the quality of the wine is on par with the outstanding, award-winning packaging. ...

The name Warrior was branded on the casks of Warre's finest Reserve Ports since the earliest days of the firm. The traditional style has been maintained over the years & it is today a classic full-bodied wine with wonderful richness & balance. Warrior is drawn from Quinta da Cavadinha & Quinta do Retiro Antigo, Warre's finest quintas in the Pinhao & Rio Torto valleys that produce Warre's classic Vintage Ports. The firm's head winemaker, Peter Symington, selects lotes of particularly rich & fruity Reserve Port to set aside for maturing in oak casks in the lodges at Vila Nova de Gaia. When the wines have reached perfect maturity, they are bottled to produce the award-winning Warre's Warrior, one of the finest Ports available for everyday drinking. ...

Suitably flash yet elegant at the same time, the Warwick First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon is a rollercoaster of excitement. This perennial overachiever is laced with cherries, dark brooding chocolate, blackberries & liquorice, all with a twist of leather right at the end. This wine is so full of flavour even your granny will do cartwheels. Smooth & enticing, youll be lip-smacking until another glass is poured. What about barbecued beef brisket, slow grilled & tender with some creamy dijon mash & garlicky beans? Or even just a plate of cured salami & a wedge of pecorino, a drizzle of truffled honey. In order to achieve the full flavours in this wine without making it too heavy, we use fruit from some of our younger vines. This allows a delicateness to pervade while still offering alluring length. Then the wine nestles, undisturbed in our cellars for 18 months with gentle exposure to French oak. The resulting wine is soft & moreish, & certainly ready to drink. No need to decant if you dont want to, just make sure you chill it slightly if the weather is very hot. ...

Each component of this Cape blend offers it's own qualities. This vintage shows an explosion of fruit on the nose which is largely attributable to the Cabernet sauvignon & Pinotage components. The Syrah is soft & sweet. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of the blend. Spicy stewed fruit & spicy ripe tannins with an innate softness & long lingering aftertaste. This blend brings the best of Pinotage to the classic French varieties & will age well for the next 15 years. Great served with rosemary marinated Lamb shank in buttered Polenta. ...
