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 hidden gem is this Vergenoegd Port 1987, the second vintage produced by John Faure from Tinta Barocca that he'd personally propagated from two single Portuguese vine cuttings.

Critics Ratings
'An elegantly understated sweet dessert, from tinta barocca a comfortable 17,5% alc., with deep, ripe plum colour. On palate, style is restrained, contrasting with many Cape ports which are heavier, richer and much sweeter.' - Platters SA Wine Guide 1990, 3* (Good to Very Good in its Class)
