So, what is port wine?
Port wine is a rich, fortified wine with a distinctive sweet taste and complex flavor profile. This fortified wine is made from grapes grown in Portugal's Douro Valley and is typically aged in wooden barrels. Port wine's deep ruby hue and lush texture come from the addition of brandy during fermentation, which halts the yeast's activity and preserves the wine's sweetness. The resulting flavor is often described as a combination of fruity notes with hints of nuts, chocolate, and spices. Port wine is a versatile ingredient that can add depth and complexity to many dishes, from savory stews to sweet desserts.
