What is the name by which this port should be known? ‟O-Port-Unidade”?

Yes, it most probably will. It is very unfortunate that TFP is not partner of the project as most others are.jdaw1 wrote:What is the name by which this port should be known? ‟O-Port-Unidade”?

Re: A new Port in Town
No it will be sold after bottling (in 2015), probably also in auctions. Larger formats will be available.g-man wrote:Will this also be only in magnums and auctioned off?

Oh. It is to be an LBV. That’s surprising. So it should be removed from the 2011 VP list.Axel P wrote:bottling (in 2015)
Re: A new Port in Town
I'm not sure that a port to be trodden with grapes of the 2013 harvest and to be bottled in 2015 belongs in either the 2011 VP thread or the LBV category!jdaw1 wrote:Oh. It is to be an LBV. That’s surprising. So it should be removed from the 2011 VP list.Axel P wrote:bottling (in 2015)

I had the 2011 on the brain, and thought this was another ‘Douro Boys’-type ’11 blend. My mistake: wrong harvest year. Sorry.Axel P wrote:Which LBV is to be bottled two years after the harvest?
Re: A new Port in Town

American fans will have gone through four airports to get there. To then say ‟second class citizens wait outside” seems needless.

Re: A new Port in Town
Tomorrow is the big day. All producers have agreed to come, I will track the origin of the grapes from everybody and will post this after my return. So today is the picking from everyone. Cross your fingers everyone.

I hope the day went well and was a great success. I'm eager to see pictures or video from the event when it's available.
