The Crusted Port complements the Vintage and Late Bottled Vintage wines. Traditionally, Crusted Port is selected from wines of Vintage quality, from two or three harvests, and undergoes no fining or filtration prior to bottling. As the name suggests, Crusted Port creates a natural deposit in the bottle, therefore it is important to decant it before serving. This Port is most appealing in its youth but will also benefit from several years of ageing, during which the bottle should be stored lying down.
