Structure
THE STORY
Tawny Port ages in barrel, slowly turning amber and picking up dried fruit and nut flavours. At twenty years old it is a sipping wine of great depth.
Toasted almond, caramel, orange peel and dried fig.
Silky and sweet; dried fruit, walnut and spice.
Very long and nutty.
At the table
Dark chocolate, blue cheese, pecan pie and crème brûlée.
How it is made
Fermentation is stopped with grape spirit, then the wine ages in old oak casks for an average of twenty years.
Terroir & region
Schist terraces of the Douro, among the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world.
WHAT MEMBERS FOUND
