Vintage Port 2000 – 2010. Port Wine Day 2014

I was invited to the Douro to participate in Port Wine Day, a celebration of the 10th September 1756 when Douro was the world’s first regulated and demarked wineregion. The celebration took place with a tasting of Vintage Port from the first decade of this century. Each producer brought 2 different years, showing the different styles they made. It was really interesting to taste all these beautiful wines side-by-side and learning the different years better to know. I can conclude that 2007 is still a fantastic year for me, the relative high acidity gives most wines a nice freshness that I like.

En rejse i Douro dalen – så er der Portvin!

Douro dalen i Portugal var et af mine forslag da Ekstra Bladet spurgte mig som vinekspert tidligere på året. Nu har jeg så besøgt dalen igen med stor fornøjelse. Jeg var i Porto for at deltage i Port Wine Day der hylder 10. september 1756 for at være den dag Douro dalen blev udnævnt til at være et afgrænset område hvor der måtte produceres portvin efter klare regler.  Denne fejring blev foretaget i selskab med skribenter, bloggere og andet godtfolk fra flere hjørner af verden.
