Ficklin is the first and only port wine made in the United States entirely from the four true Portuguese grape varieties. These celebrated port grapes have been selected to produce our rare Ficklin Tinta Port. Tinta Madeira grapes are used for their fruity, almost spicy quality. Tinta Cao is selected for its soft delicate flavor. The aromatic Souzao also adds beautiful color. Finally, the Touriga lends a rich, full flavor. The grapes reach their perfection in our varietal vineyards under the favorable climatic conditions of southern Madera County. Through selection of perfect clusters, the making of wines in small lots, the aging for several years in small oak casks, and the final aging in bottles, each bottle has received our personal care.
