1949 CAVENDISH L.B.V. "Port" - South Africa, 1949

Duty Paid, 1 bottle, 75cl

Description

As the Portugese port industry obtained an embargo on calling anything 'port' not emanating from Portugal, this fortified wine from the Cape has to be called 'Vin de Liqueur' and not South African Port as it used to be 'in the good old days'. Same goes for Cyprus 'Sherry' I'm told. (Why cant the fellows in Cheddar do the same?)

As can be seen on the label, the text relates "The wine of a single outstanding vintage in the Cape, which has been late bottled in this country after over 30 years maturation in oak wood".
Shipped and bottled for Edward Cavendish & Sons Ltd London W1.

A perfect present to those born, married etc in 1949.
