Discover How Booths Port Is Made — Meet Sophia of Quinta de la Rosa, Portugal | Booths Supermarket

Meet Sophia, who makes Booths port at Quinta de la Rosa, which has been in her family since 1906. We're celebrating an over 30-year partnership with Sophia and family. The small, family-run Port house Quinta de la Rosa are the crafters of our Booths Port. Situated in Northern Portugal with breathtaking views across the Douro Valley, the Quinta has been in the Bergqvist family for over 100 years. Originally given as a christening gift to Sophia Bergqvist’s grandmother Claire, Sophia and her father Tim restored the family business in 1988, with a dream of becoming a leading Port producer in one of the world’s finest wine-growing regions. Edwin Booth, current Chairman and former wine buyer at Booths was Quinta de la Rosa’s first customer when they launched their vintage 1988 Port: "The fruit was plum and raspberry but it had a touch of spice, and the finish was long and gently warming," Immediately impressed, he ordered 30 cases and Quinta de la Rosa has supplied Booths ever since – we celebrated a 30-year partnership with Sophia and family in 2018. Edwin’s recommendation? "Our Finest Reserve Port is one to enjoy all year round, but even more so with a slice of blue cheese or a touch of dark chocolate." Our Port Varieties: Booths Finest Reserve Port, 50cl Booths Finest Reserve Port is made with grapes from Ports from each year that are blended for a consistent style, having been made very traditionally with the grapes being trodden in granite lagares. Booths 20-year-old Tawny Port, 50cl Great richness and aromatic complexity of almonds, figs and spices, this is beautifully silky and refined. Best served slightly chilled with a variety of dishes from chocolate to cheese. Booths Late Bottled Vintage Port, 50cl Opaque and deep ruby in colour with intense aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant. Rich and concentrated with a mouth-watering finish, laced with sweet spices. Our 2015 vintage won an International Wine Challenge 2020 Silver Award. - You’ll find 27 of our stores dotted around the Northwest of England, each one with its own variety of special, local and unique products and seasonal events.
