Valentine’s Day Wine Gifts from Vintage Wine and Port

As a holiday, Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery and fascination. In the third century, Saint Valentine was beheaded for marrying off Roman soldiers in defiance of his emperor. He began a custom when he restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge and sent her the first Valentine’s Day card. Vintage Wine and Port  team has penned a blog post delving into the history of Valentine’s Day.

A harmonious union of love and wine. There is a lot of romanticism in the wine industry, from the beautiful vineyards and sophisticated tasting rooms to the ardent vintners and decadent vintages.

Bodegas Toro Albalá Sherry and Montilla-Moriles

Bodegas Toro Albalá Sherry and Montilla-Moriles presents a Fino sherry-style wine called Eléctrico, a classic Andalusian wine that has been a part of Andalusian people’s lives since 1922. The wine is made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes and undergoes biological ageing under a veil of flor. The wine has a soft mid-palate and round finish, distinguishing it from its Jerez counterparts. The wine’s bright, chalky crackle, characteristic of the Fino style, shines through, making it a pleasant and powerful wine. The decanter can be re-used, and the wine’s name and original lightbulb bottle design are a testament to the winery’s history and the local power plant.

Rosé Wine, Alentejo

Fonte Souto, located in the Alentejo sub-region of Portalegre, has produced its second rosé wine in 2021. The Aragonez grapes were picked at different times to achieve a wine with greater balance, dimension, and layers of aromas and flavors. The wine is made at an altitude of 500 meters, utilizing cooler and wetter conditions than the hot Alentejo plain. The Fonte Souto wines express the freshness and elegance of the altitude, as well as the structure and complexity of the estate’s mature, low-yielding vines. The wine has an attractive, pale coppery color, with expressive aromas of raspberry and strawberry sorbet, watermelon, and delicate flavors of gooseberry and red berries.
