Fortifieds
About the SessionIt's rare to witness a collection of vintage ports like what's on offer in the 2025 Strauss winter catalogue. With the cold evenings approaching, these complex beauties are the perfect companions to open before dinner to warm the atmosphere.
About this Item
Long regarded as a Cape benchmark and even admired by producers in the Douro, this 'port' is no longer produced. Older vintages are hen's teeth collectors' delights, all drinking beautifully now.

'A Cape benchmark. Tinta barocca-souzão 50-50 blend, held to manageable 19.5% alc, 100 gms/l sugar. 94 awash in opulent chocolates, prunes but still great finesse; dry finish. Barrel-aged 2 years.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1997, Best of the bunch, Superior Cape quality, 5*
