After fermentation, the wine rests for a variable period in oak barrels, a process that gives the Tawny its typical aromatic complexity and an elegant balance between freshness and softness. On the nose, there are hints of dried fruit, dried figs, caramel, and spicy notes, while on the palate it is velvety with a pleasant, slightly bitter persistence.
Excellent as a contemplative wine, it pairs perfectly with almond-based desserts or dark chocolate, but also offers an unexpected harmony with aged cheeses. A refined testimony to the unique character of the Douro.
