Perhaps one of the best ways to draw an evening to a close is with a glass of Port. \u00a0Port Hanover, made by Hanover Park<\/a>, is one of the few wineries in North Carolina to bottle and sell fortified wines.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Port Hanover is a delightful addition to the wine\u00a0selection\u00a0available at Hanover Park.\u00a0 The winery itself focuses on Rhone style wines grown on their century farm vineyard.\u00a0 We will have more reviews of Hanover Park and their wines in future postings.\u00a0 This one will focus on their delightful after dinner wine, the Port Hanover.\u00a0 Made from the Chambourcin grapes, this wine has many of the characteristics of Chambourcin.\u00a0 The wine itself is a deep ruby-red.\u00a0 The nose is soft and delicate to start, but as you draw the glass in closer, dark fruit notes come to life.\u00a0 The bouquet is rich with black currant and caramelized sugars.\u00a0 Taking the first sip, the wine is smooth with a slight hint of smoke.\u00a0 The dark fruit flavors and low acid profile help to make this a soft sipping wine.\u00a0 The finish starts with a hint of stewed fruits and then develops into a hearty but clean and warming\u00a0finale.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy Port style wines, this is right up your alley.\u00a0 We try to keep a bottle of Port Hanover on hand at all time, for when the mood strikes.\u00a0 This was our last at the moment, so we’ll definitely have to go back and pick up another.<\/p>\n
