{"product_id":"2017-maynards-vintage-port-750ml","title":"2017 Maynard's - Vintage Port (750ml)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaynard's is the flagship label of Vinihold, the company of brothers Fernando and Alvaro van Zeller, whose family counts sixteen generations of wine producers. Its wines are made under the Barão de Vilar name, and the brand recalls Walter Maynard, an early exporter of Port to England and an ancestor of the family through marriage. The house also makes aged Tawnies and single-harvest Colheitas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 2017 harvest in the Douro was marked by dry heat, an early start, and low yields, giving concentrated, deeply colored wines. Maynard's blends Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Barroca. After vinification, the wine spent two years in oak and was bottled unfiltered, a choice made with long ageing in bottle in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRipe blackberries, dark cherries, and plum compote lead the nose, joined by dark chocolate and warm spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with structured tannins, fresh black fruit, cocoa, and subtle floral notes, yet it stays silky and pure. Cellar it for several more years, as one critic suggests drinking from 2030. Stand the bottle upright and decant before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maynard's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50571127390394,"sku":"105255","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2017-maynards-vintage-port-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
