About this deal

Cockburn’s can proudly claim to have played a leading role in the resurrection of the Touriga Nacional variety in the 1970’s and 1980’s when it had been virtually abandoned on most Douro vineyards. In 2010, Cockburn's was sold to Symington Family Estates, a family-owned business with over 1,006 hectares (2,400 acres) of vineyards in the Douro Valley. Medium bodied on the palate with flavours of black currant fruit with a good grip and firm tannins, which leads to a long elegant finish. Create a unique gift package with our luxury Dark Mocha Leather Effect presentation box with silk liners. The brand also has a tradition of humorous marketing, with many people still fondly remembering the legendary TV ads from the 70s and 80s.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The special hot and dry climatic conditions of this Douro sub-region give a unique style and quality to all of Cockburn’s Ports.

It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Limited prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. Its profile is similar, with expressive, fresh and concentrated fruit married to exquisite balance and elegan. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included.

Items not delivered (unless the courier hasn't been able to deliver due to no one being in - they try twice and on 3rd attempt send items back to us) - please allow 5 working days after we are alerted for us to contact our courier services to find out why the parcel hasn't been delivered. The finest grapes are hand-picked, pressed, and the resulting wine is then aged in our specially coopered oak vats for five years. The port offers complex aromas of dried fruits, nuts, and hints of chocolate, which intensify on the palate.It is bottled right after filtration making it ready to drink straight away after bottling which offers a rich, fruity and sweet taste, the perfect everyday port. What there is, looks very good, with some houses declaring a vintage year for the third successive year. The 1977s, undoubtedly one of the great vintages, have matured well and are firmly in their drinking window, whilst the initially structured wines of 1970 have proved themselves worth the wait and are now at their peak. The package includes tasting notes and a personal message (please enter your message in the comments box at the checkout).
