Fonseca Tawny 10YO in Gift tin
| Description | Fonseca 10 Year Old is made from selected red Ports grown in the best vineyards of the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. The wine ages in small oak barrels, generally holding about 630 litres, where there is a relatively small volume of wine compared to the surface area of the barrel, so contact with the wood is proportionately greater. As it matures in the barrel, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' colour of youth and takes on the seductive amber shade known as 'tawny'. At the same time the wine becomes progressively smoother and mellower, its aromas gain in richness and complexity. Ten years of wood aging has given this wine its characteristic tawny colour and its elegant and complex nose full of rich 'fruit cake' flavours, delicate nuttiness and hints of spice and fine oak. |
