RARE PORTS FROM RAMOS PINTO
Ramos Pinto Sweet White Port 1884
Port
In original wooden presentation box. Ex-Christie's. Christie's Wine Cellar integrated label. Excellent appearance
A great classic vintage, one of the best of the 19th century. A very warm July was followed by some showers at the end of August. In September drier weather arrived which lead to a late harvest. Severely reduced production due to phylloxera, which was first discovered in the mid-1860s.
As the 1890 this white port was produced for blending and adjusting the sweetness of other ports but due to its exceptional quality Adriano Ramos Pinto kept some casks apart for his own consumption. Bottled after 10 years of oak cask aging this is what we would call a colheita, a very rare white port of excellent quality!
