TAWNY PORT - Drawn from wines selected for their smooth and mellow character. Blended to maintain quality and continuity of style. As it matures in small oak casks, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' colour of youth and takes on the seductive amber hue known as 'tawny'. It becomes smoother and mellower, its aromas gaining in richness and complexity. After years of ageing the wines are then blended together a few months before bottling for balance and harmony.
TASTING NOTES - Tawny-red colour fading to brick on the rim. The seductive nose displays aromas of apricot and plum with mellow undertones of butterscotch and spice. On the palate, the rich jammy flavours are lifted on the finish by an attractive crisp acidity.
ENJOY WITH FOOD - Tawny Port makes a delicious dessert wine, and combines particularly well with flavours of almonds, berry fruit or dark chocolate.
STYLISH WOODEN GIFT BOX - Presented in a luxury branded wooden gift box, this Tawny makes the perfect gift.
PRODUCER - Fonseca belongs in the first league of vintage port houses. Few port producers have maintained such consistency of quality and style from vintage to vintage.
