Crafted in Portugal’s legendary Douro Valley, this premium reserve port carries forward a tradition that began in 1972 when Fonseca’s Chairman Alistair Robertson named it Bin 27, reviving the house’s custom of using bin numbers for their finest blends. The wine is made from classic Portuguese grape varieties and aged in oak to develop its signature depth and complexity. At 20% ABV, it strikes the perfect balance between strength and drinkability.

Nose: The aromatics open with intense blackberry, cassis and ripe cherry, layered with violet, wet earth and hints of hot stones. There’s a freshness to the fruit that keeps the nose lively, along with subtle spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg that add dimension.

Palate: Full-bodied and tannic, the palate shows fantastic grip and power while maintaining a velvety, luscious mouthfeel. Ripe plum, black cherry liqueur and raisin flavours dominate, supported by a well-knit structure that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. The texture is polished and smooth, with generous berry fruit bursting through from start to finish.

Finish: The juicy black fruit lingers long into a rich, warming finish that showcases the wine’s intensity without harsh alcohol burn. Subtle spice notes return, along with dark berry fruit that slowly fades, leaving you ready for another sip.

Pair Fonseca Bin 27 with farmhouse cheddar or other aged cheeses, dark chocolate and berry desserts, or enjoy it alongside soft, ripe blue cheese. Serve slightly chilled at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius in a small port glass to appreciate the concentrated aromatics. This ruby port is ideal for anyone discovering fortified wine for the first time, as well as seasoned collectors who appreciate Fonseca’s long history of producing consistently outstanding wines since their first vintage release in 1840.

Awarded 90 points by Wine Spectator, this is a port that punches well above its price and proves why Bin 27 has become one of the world’s most recognisable ruby port bottlings. Once opened, the wine will keep for two to three months if stored upright with the cork replaced, making it a versatile option for those who enjoy a glass now and then without worrying about oxidation. A bottle of Fonseca Bin 27 belongs in every home bar where quality fortified wine is appreciated.
