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
A blend of Touriga Naçional, Souzão and Tinta Roriz, mostly grown in Calitzdorp, this was the maiden release of a Vintage Port from Monis (more famous for its award-winning tawnies). 'A fortified wine with finesse and great elegance in style with the same amazing ageing potential as all our ports' is how winemaker Dirkie Christowitz described it upon its release in 2009.
