Cockburn's was founded in 1815 in Oporto by Robert Cockburn, a Scottish wine merchant from a distinguished family in Edinburgh. Today, Cockburn's is the number 1 Port brand in the UK.
Comfortable in any setting, our ultra-adaptable fine ruby has a bright and fruity style that mixes as easily as it stands alone. Made with a selection of young wines from a variety of harvests, it’s aged in oak for two to three years before its youthful red-fruit flavours are released into the world, ready to enjoy.
Savour this port in a large wine glass at room temperature, or slightly chilled in warm weather to appreciate its ripe fruit flavours. Perfect served at the end of a meal, or after a brisk walk in the cold. Does not need to be decanted. Consume within four to six weeks of opening.
Cockburn’s Fine Ruby is the perfect accompaniment to cheese or rich chocolate desserts but is also wonderful enjoyed on its own or as part of a mixed drink.

History: Cockburn's, founded in 1815 by two Scottish brothers Robert and John Cockburn, is one of the greatest and most beloved names in Port. With a long history of questioning the 'rules', Cockburn's was a pioneer in producing Port from the remote Douro Superior and was instrumental in recovering the iconic Port grape variety Touriga Nacional from almost certain extinction. The Cockburn’s style reflects the special hot and dry climatic conditions of this Douro Sub-region giving a unique style and quality to all Cockburn's Ports.
