Taylor's Select Reserve Ruby Port

The grapes for the Taylor's Select Reserve Ruby are harvested by hand, mostly destemmed and crushed in shallow steel containers. Instead of using feet as in the past, the cap is now regularly worked under using state-of-the-art equipment in order to extract a maximum of color, aroma and flavor from the grapes and berry skins. Through this extremely careful processing, Taylor's has been able to maintain and even increase its quality standard compared to the traditional method. The must is then fermented and, after about half of the sugar has been converted into alcohol, the free-run juice is drained and wine distillate is added. This stops the fermentation, the alcohol level rises and a natural residual sweetness is preserved. Subsequently, the young wine matures in large wooden barrels, in which only moderate oxygen exchange takes place, whereby the youthful "ruby" of its color and the fruity aromas are preserved. After storage, selected wines are blended.
