“Kenneth Green” Vintage Fortified Named after
Josh’s late Grandfather (a great lover of wine), this is MyattsField’s first
attempt at a Portuguese style Vintage Fortified. It is made from
some of the traditional Portuguese varieties Touriga Nacional, Durif and
Shiraz that are grown at our Carmel Valley Vineyard. In keeping with
tradition, the Durif and Shiraz were picked when the fruit had become
shirvelled and were footed stomped to crush the berries. The Touriga Nacional
was picked less ripe and crushed on top for co-fermentation. The wine was
fortified using 70% SVR (or neutral spirit) and 30% Brandy Spirit. After a short
time in old French oak, the wine has been bottled early to retain the
delicious fruit characters. Enjoy now or
cellar for a very long time. “5 stars-
A Lovely young vintage port beautifully made in true traditional Portuguese
style. It is fresh, long and well balanced, with an excellent drying brandy
finish- just as it should be.” Winestate
