✨ Tekniske specifikationer
JM Cellars' Ruby Port represents a passionate nod to the historic fortified wines of the Douro Valley, reimagined through the lens of Washington State's exceptional terroir. Crafted from traditional Portuguese grape varieties grown in warm, sun-drenched sites like the Snipes Mountain AVA, this wine benefits from dramatic diurnal temperature swings that preserve natural acidity while achieving optimal ripeness. The winemaking process respects tradition, utilizing neutral grape spirits to halt fermentation and preserve the natural residual sugars of the fruit. Aged in neutral oak barrels to emphasize fresh, vibrant dark berry profiles rather than heavy wood influence, this Ruby Port showcases the remarkable adaptability of Portuguese grapes in the Pacific Northwest, offering a rich, velvety texture and a warming, expressive finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
