Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port

Classic Vintage Ports are only ‘Declared’ in exceptional years when conditions have been perfect and wines of outstanding quality are produced. Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port is made exclusively from one harvest at our vineyards in the Rio Torto, one of the finest vineyard areas in the Douro Valley.

Following 2 years in oak, we transfer the wine unfiltered to bottle, where it can mature for decades.  It is during this long bottle ageing that the young wine is transformed into a magnificent Vintage Port.  Smith Woodhouse Port is produced in small quantities by the Symington family, with the unrivalled experience of over 100 years of creating great Port wine.  Shared with family or friends at important occasions, celebrations and parties, Vintage Port makes the moment memorable.

Intense aromas of raspberries, blackberries, prunes, chocolate and minerals.  Dense sweet berry fruits, plum cassis, then spice.  The tannins are big, structure excellent and its future is looking very good indeed.  smith woodhouse
