Kingsley is Port with a modern face. Its labels swap the classic Port-house look for bold pop-art portraits, but the name follows a long tradition: Port has been shipped from Porto to Britain for more than three centuries, and many of the houses that built the trade carried English names. Each back label comes with its own long-drink recipe: Kingsley is Port born in Portugal and made for today. Ruby is the youngest and fruitiest style of Port: a blend of Ports of different ages, all over three years old, aged in stainless steel to keep the fruit vivid.
