2016 Smith Woodhouse, Port, Portugal

Description

The 2016 vintage of Smith Woodhouse is packed with sweet berry fruit and plum, intermingled with layers of black forest gâteau and a delicate floral undertone. Structurally, it is softer and lighter than some of its peers, but the generous portions of fruit leave it balanced and expressive. Highly enjoyable, even at this early stage, this will nonetheless cellar well over the next 10 to 20 years. Drink 2026-38. Georgina Haacke, Fine Wine Assistant Buyer

About this wine

Smith Woodhouse

Smith Woodhouse was founded in 1784 when Christopher Smith, Lord Mayor of London, created a small company to ship Port from the Douro valley. Shortly after, he was joined by the Woodhouse brothers. The amalgamation of the Smith and Woodhouse families over 200 years ago gave this highly reputable company its name.

Porto

Porto

Rich, saccharine, intensely-flavoured and, at their best, wonderfully majestic and harmonious, these are wines to be savoured on their own, or with a fine chunk of cheese after a meal. Port comes from the stunning Douro region of Portugal, about 50 miles east of Oporto, and is made in two different styles: bottle-aged and cask-aged.
