Smith Woodhouse is a specialist producer of premium quality Ports. The uniformity of this quality is underpinned by Smith Woodhouse’s own Madalena vineyard from where the wines are largely sourced. This small Quinta (vineyard property) has the highest “A” quality rating and is located in the Rio Torto district, acknowledged as one of the finest Port growing areas. Lodge Reserve is made from Ports carefully chosen by our winemaker for their concentrated rich fruit style. On arrival at our lodges (wine cellars) in Oporto from the Upper Douro vineyards, the finest wines deemed to possess the required characteristics are carefully selected, subsequently blended and then left to age and mellow in oak casks. Dark and lively ruby color. On the nose intense red fruit aromas dominate, with some floral hints. On the palate fresh and robust fruit flavors, with an excellent long finish. Smith Woodhouse Lodge Reserve is delicious served at the end of a meal, for example with rich chocolate desserts, as well as strong cheeses like a creamy blue.
