In the grand tasting room at the Poças family’s port house in old-town Porto, our chocolate experts met with Master Port Blender, Jorge, for a great taste-off – they were seeking the ultimate port to pair with our dark chocolate and this was the one. It’s Jorge’s Special Reserve Aged Ruby Port and it’s one of his best, drawing on four generations of expertise to blend and balance specially selected Touriga and ‘Old Vine’ grape varieties.
PAIRING WITH CHOCOLATE – allow a small piece of chocolate to melt in the mouth for a few seconds to release its flavours, then take a sip of port and let the two mingle in your mouth.
