Kosher Port Wine – Popular Sweet Port Wines

What is Kosher Port?

Port is a fortified wine made by adding a Portion of grape spirit to the wine during the production process. This allows the wine to retain some of the natural sweetness of the grape, making it rich, round and smooth on the palate. Drinking kosher Port wine can be a lavish experience when paired with a meal or dessert or when enjoyed on its own. Kosher Port is able to stay fresh after being uncorked for quite some time, and contains a considerable alcohol content of about 20 percent, which is higher than most other kosher wines. There are Port styles for all occasions and budgets, from rare vintage Ports matured in sealed glass bottles with no air exposure, to the more relaxed wood-aged Ports, which are aged in wood (normally oak) and generally evolve more rapidly than those aged in a bottle.

Kosher Port Producers

Port, like champagne, refers to a regionally produced fortified wine from Portugal, but a number of wine producers in various countries produce some excellent Port-style wines. Porto Cordovero is the most commonly available and popular kosher Port wine. This Port is made from grapes grown in the Douro Valley in Portugal and is exceptionally rich and fruity with a full body. Some Israeli Port-style wine producers include Har Bracha, which produces Har Bracha Pura Port,  a rich Port-style dessert wine with a well-balanced natural sweetness and warming heat on the finish. Adir, Odem Mountain and Carmel are a few more Israeli producers of kosher Port wine, and each produce Ports with excellent aging potential and delicious taste.
