Vintage Port 1987
Port
About the SessionThe Port session is a true treasure trove for collectors of Cape and Portuguese fortified wines. It is rare to encounter a collection of vintage Ports such as those featured in the 2026 Strauss Winter Catalogue. With the colder evenings approaching, these complex and beautifully layered wines make the perfect companions to open before dinner, adding warmth and atmosphere to any gathering.
About this Item
This classic Vintage Port was produced in the older Cape style before the estate's introduction of Touriga Nacional and a dryer style in the mid-1990s that was inspired by multiple trips to the Duoro valley in Portugal. The 1987 is made from 100% Tinta Barocca, and offers lovely deep richness and layered complexity from bottle age, especially in this special large format bottle.

Critics Ratings
‘Rich, nutty, cherry-heering flavours, some power in the alcohol, but finely balanced with integrating sweetness and good wooding.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4*
