Made by the same method used to produce port in the Douro Valley. Several different vintages are used in this blend, which has an average age of around five years, however only the best wines from the best vintages are used. Stylistically it sits between a ruby and a tawny port. The first year this wine was made was 1988, hence the name Batch 88. The wine was aged in 60 gallon barrels.
Rich and spicy, port-like wine with luscious ripe blackberry, raisin and chocolate truffle flavours on the palate and a fine acidity and soft tannins.
