Historically Portwines were first made in Porto in Portugal, and was named after this town. Nowadays port style wines are produced in practically all wine-making areas of the world. Wines of this type are represented by wide choice of names.

    Massandra Red Port is made from the Moourvedre grape variety since 1891. The vineyards are scattered on montain slopes all along the coastal line from Mount Cat to Mount Castel. Harvested when natural sugar content is no less than 20 %. The young wine is aged in oak casks in he cellars of Alupka winery for three years. The portisation gives piquancy that later makes an impression. The resultant sugar level - 6 %, alcohol - 18.5 %. Massandra Red Port has deep ruby colour. Typical, well pronounced bouquet, delicate with a light morel nose, that is more compound when aged while acquiring brandy hints. Powerful, rich, wellbalanced palate. 

   This old chateau port is of the classic style and is highly appreciated by true connoisseurs, who assure that Massandra Red Port is intended for men and is no other wine in he world better than it.
