Rich and concentrated red fruit aromas with bright red cherry and hints of plum and strawberry. Sweet and well-rounded, luscious red berry flavours lead to a distinctive peppery and slightly dry finish

About

The original reserve port, Special Reserve has been enjoyed the world over since 1969 - and for good reason. We use only the finest grapes to make a port that's fruity, full-bodied, and packed full of stories just waiting to be told. No need to decant.

Vinification Details: Produced from wines selected for their richness and concentration from the finest vineyards in the Upper Douro, Special Reserve is matured in oak vats for up to four years before being bottled. This longer wood-ageing gives its full-bodied palate a distinctive dry finish, making it the benchmark for all Reserve Ports.
History: Cockburn's, founded in 1815 by two Scottish brothers Robert and John Cockburn, is one of the greatest and most beloved names in Port. With a long history of questioning the 'rules', Cockburn's was a pioneer in producing Port from the remote Douro Superior and was instrumental in recovering the iconic Port grape variety Touriga Nacional from almost certain extinction. The Cockburn’s style reflects the special hot and dry climatic conditions of this Douro Sub-region giving a unique style and quality to all Cockburn's Ports.
Regional Information: Originally introduced in 1969, Cockburn’s Special Reserve bridged the gap between vintage ports and their younger counterparts, creating an approachable yet complex new port category.
