Vinte Vinte, Chocolate & Port Tasting Box

(2024) A Christmas gift idea with a difference, or just a chance to indulge in miniatures of four fine Ports along with four matching chocolate bars. Vinte Vinte Chocolate is owned by leading Port producer, The Fladgate partnership, and produced in Vila Nova de Gaia. Master Chocolate Maker, Pedro Martins Araújo, has crafted chocolates intended to perfectly harmonise with each of the Port styles in the selection. The Port and chocolate pairings are the fruity Fonseca Bin 27 with a classic, 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate, the more full-bodied Taylor’s Late Bottled Vintage with a 58% dark chocolate and the mellow Taylor’s 10-Year-Old Tawny with a milk chocolate of 35% cocoa solids. Also in the selection, Taylor’s Chip Dry White Port, matched to a white chocolate. A fold-out guide to the tasting is included, but in a nice touch, a QR code also leads to an online video guide, led by Pedro Martins Araújo. It's available from the stockists below and many independent wine merchants. Watch my video review for more information.
