Vinification Details: Cockburn's Fine Ruby is a blend of young, vibrant wines from different harvests aged for an average of two to three years in oak vats before being blended and bottled ready to enjoy.
History: Cockburn's was founded in 1815 in Oporto by Robert Cockburn, a Scottish wine merchant from a distinguished family in Edinburgh. In the 19th Century, three other families joined the company - the Smithes, the Teages and the Cobbs - and together with the Cockburns, they developed this house into one of the greatest names in Port.
Regional Information: Most of the grapes for Cockburn's Ports come from its flagship property - Quinta dos Canais - one of the Douro's greatest quintas. This 642 acre property is the essence of Cockburn's vintage and other premium Ports, including Special Reserve. Touriga Nacional, the Douro's finest grape variety, makes up almost one third of the Canais vineyard, whilst the Douro's average is no more than 3%.
