What is Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine?

Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine is a rich, full-bodied ruby port that offers a luscious blend of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry flavors, complemented by subtle notes of spice and chocolate. Interestingly, this port's name comes from a cellar location where it was originally stored at the Fonseca lodge, and it has remained unchanged since its creation in 1972, despite the bin number no longer being in use.

Why do we love Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine for its rich, fruit-forward profile that adds depth and complexity to mixed drinks.

How do you drink Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine?

Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine shines when served slightly chilled in a proper port glass, allowing its rich flavors to unfold gradually as you sip.

Product Details

Nose: Rich aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry, accompanied by hints of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon add complexity.

Fonseca Bin #27 Port Wine blends specially selected reserve wines from various vineyards and harvests, creating a consistent house style. After fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirit, the young port ages in large oak vats for about three years before bottling, allowing the wine to retain its fresh fruit character while developing complexity.

Fonseca Bin #27 Port was originally created in 1972 as a special blend for the Fonseca family's private cellar, labeled simply as "Bin No. 27." It became so popular among friends and guests that the family decided to release it commercially.

Despite its rich, full-bodied taste, Fonseca Bin #27 is made from wines from younger vines, typically aged for just 3-4 years. This contradicts the common belief that all quality ports require decades of aging.

The "27" in its name isn't just a random number. It refers to a specific storage location in the Fonseca lodge where this particular blend was first kept, adding a touch of mystique to its origins.
