About the Session

The 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

Vintage Port 1987
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Rustenberg is one of the oldest and most historically significant estates in South Africa, farming its Simonsberg property since 1892. The estate produced Vintage Port-style wines across much of the 20th century from traditional Cape Portuguese varieties, and the 1987 Rustenberg Vintage Port is a rare survivor from this now-discontinued chapter of the estate's history. Made in the classical Cape fortified tradition with pot-still spirit and large old oak maturation, the 1987 has spent nearly four decades finding its equilibrium.

At nearly forty years of age, it has developed the complex secondary character of a mature Cape Port: dried fruit, toffee, chocolate and well-integrated spirit.
