Fonseca Tawny Port - Douro Valley, Portugal

Producer's Notes: 

Tawny-red color 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 flavors are lifted on the finish by an attractive crisp acidity.

What We Say: 

A smooth, rich, and mellow port, with generous jammy fruit flavors supported by its naturally sweet character. The combination of preserved fruit and mellow, caramel-like notes gives the wine an inviting aromatic richness.

Fonseca is one of Portugal's most historic and respected Port houses, with origins dating back to 1815. The producer has earned an international reputation for Ports defined by lush fruit intensity, richness, and the ability to develop complexity with age. This port spends approximately three years aging in small wooden casks. This lengthy exposure to wood and oxygen gradually transforms the Port. Its youthful ruby color softens into the amber-tawny tones that give the style its name, while the palate becomes smoother and the aromas gain additional complexity.
