The Porto 10 Year Old Tawny by Fonseca represents a perfect balance between tradition and winemaking mastery, produced in the renowned Douro region, the historic home of this denomination. This wine, made through the blending of different vintages, undergoes a long aging process in wooden barrels that imparts unique complexity and smoothness. The grape variety, mainly composed of native grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, gives the wine an elegant structure and intense aromatic richness.
In the glass, it shows a deep amber color, while on the nose it opens with refined aromas of dried fruit, figs, dates, and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel, a result of aging in wood. The palate is velvety, well balanced between sweetness and acidity, with a persistent finish that highlights hints of toasted almonds and light spices. Ideal as a meditative wine, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or dried fruit, enhancing their flavors with its aromatic richness and refined structure.
Fonseca, a historic winery from the Douro region, guarantees with this Porto 10 Year Old Tawny a profound sensory experience, capable of telling the story of the land and Portuguese winemaking tradition in every sip.
