Editing Port wine (section)

===Ruby===
The most common type, ruby port is stored in tanks of concrete or [[stainless steel]] after fermentation, to prevent oxidative aging and preserve its bright red color and full-bodied fruitiness.<ref name=ruby>{{Cite web|url=https://www.portwine.com/products/rubyports.html|title=Ruby Port |quote=Ruby Port is young, full-bodied, blended in the style of individual port producers. It is aged for two or three years in large vats to keep oxidation to a minimum. ... Premium Rubys are of better quality and aged in wood for four to six years.|website=The Port Wine Store|access-date=1 February 2024}}</ref> The wine is usually blended to match the style of the brand to which it is to be sold. The wine is [[fined (wine)|fined]] and [[cold filtered]] before bottling and does not generally improve with age, although premium rubies are aged in wood from four to six years.<ref name=ruby/>

====Reserve====
Reserve ruby is a premium ruby port approved by the IVDP's tasting panel, the {{lang|pt|Câmara de Provadores}}. In 2002 the IVDP prohibited the use of the term "vintage character", as reserve ruby port had neither a single vintage (usually being a blend of several vintages of the ruby) nor the typical character of vintage port.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbr.com/region-4385-vintage-character |title=Vintage Character |publisher=[[Berry Bros. & Rudd]] |access-date=28 October 2013}}</ref>

====Rose====
Rose port is a very recent variation on the market, first released in 2008 by Poças and by Croft, part of the [[Taylor, Fladgate, & Yeatman|Taylor Fladgate Partnership]]. It is technically a ruby port, but fermented in a similar manner to a [[rosé wine]], with limited exposure to the grape skins, thus creating the rose color.
