Hi Camille,

The IVDP regulations do not permit single varietal Ports to be produced and released commercially. A few producers have made small batch, experimental single varietal Ports so they can follow them as these varietals age and, from that, understand how each grape variety contributes towards the overall blended drink as the wine matures.

You can find single varietal fortified wines in other countries, like Germany and USA, that i'm aware of.
