Porto Vintage 2016 by Fonseca represents a timeless excellence, the result of a careful and meticulous selection of the best grapes from the historic Douro region in Portugal. Made primarily with traditional grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, this wine fully expresses the expressive and structural potential typical of the Porto denomination.
The aging process occurs exclusively in the bottle, preserving the qualities of a vintage considered extraordinary, where the balance between acidity, tannins, and aromatic intensity is perfectly harmonized. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet, featuring intense notes of ripe red fruits, cherry, blackberry, and dried rose, accompanied by delicate hints of spices and sweet tobacco. On the palate, the vigorous structure and high persistence give way to a long and enveloping finish, capable of evolving magnificently over the years.
This Porto Vintage 2016 by Fonseca is splendid as a meditation wine, but pairs elegantly with desserts based on dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or nuts, enhancing every tasting with its deep harmony and distinctive character.
