Description and Reviews:
The 2016 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port Wine is brimming with aromas suggesting bergamot and tea-leaf, as well as floral aromas of rockrose and violets. Substantial on the palate, showing ripe, black fruit and liquorice. The seamless, peppery tannins give freshness and excellent structure.
Smith Woodhouse is a specialist producer of premium quality Ports which showcase an outstanding length and structure. Its Vintage Ports show a characteristic opulent rich style, balanced by firm hard tannins. Ageing gives these wines an unmatched elegance.The uniformity of this quality is underpinned by Smith Woodhouse's own Madalena vineyard from where the wines are largely sourced. This small Quinta (vineyard property) has the highest A quality rating and is located in the Rio Torto district, acknowledged as one of the finest Port growing areas.
