HISTORY
The first vintage of Broadbent port was produced in 1994, when
Bartholomew Broadbent, after spearheading the port revival in the U.S.
and Canada, launched his own brand. That inaugural vintage was voted
best-in-show at a comprehensive tasting of vintage port during the Aspen
Food & Wine Classic. Bartholomew has long-lasting relationships with the
Douro Valley’s best Port producers and works with esteemed winemakers
on the Broadbent Port range.
VITICULTURE/VINIFICATION
The grapes are hand harvested and softly crushed after partial destemming.
The wine was fermented in stainless steel on the grape skins, allowing for
their important flavor compounds to be extracted. This is done under
temperature control so that the winemaker can keep an eye on the
alcoholic fermentation to ensure that the addition of aguardiente (grape
spirit) is added at just the right time. This addition of aguardiente halts the
fermentation and is the key to creating Port wines sweetness.
