Chalmers 1528 Chocolate Port

The history of cocoa and chocolate is well known to date back to the Aztecs of South America. The ‘plumed serpent’ is said to have bought it back from the ‘Lost Paradise.’ By consuming it one attained universal knowledge and wisdom. Cocoa came into vogue in Europe as a liqueur from the sixteenth century on, often being drunk through a thick layer of cream floating on the surface. Chalmers 1528 Chocolate Port commemorates the year in which chocolate was supposedly first bought to Europe from the Americas. Chocolate and Port are a compatible and often romantic combination. With this product from Chalmers, full flavoured, oak matured tawny port is blended with dark chocolate. An experience unto itself in the world of wine with no need to make dessert!

Tasting Note: Pale amber with tawny overtones and a pale olive tinge. The nose reveals generous raisins with dark chocolate end notes with well integrated oak adding character. Rich, warming raisin fruit characters emerge on the palate followed by a subtle oak and dark chocolate finish.
