Product details
Cockburn’s Special Reserve was originally introduced in 1969 as the first great Reserve Port, creating an entirely new Port category that was fundamental to the success of Port and the Douro over the following decades. Cockburn’s Special Reserve is a very fine wine selected for its richness and concentration, from the finest vineyards in the Upper Douro and matured in oak casks for four to five years. This longer wood ageing gives its fruity and full-bodied palate a distinctive dry finish, making Cockburn’s Special Reserve the benchmark for all Reserve Ports.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Garnet red colour. A youthful nose packed with rich and concentrated aromas of red fruits, predominantly red cherry and hints of plums and strawberry. On the palate sweet, well rounded, medium length and with luscious red berry flavours leading to a distinctive dry finish, balanced with fine wood-aged flavours.
