| Vinification | Fonseca's vintage ports are made exclusively from the three Fonseca Vineyards (Panascal, Cruzeiro and Santo Antonio), and are 100% made by foot treading the grapes and are only made in the very best years. The picked grapes are crushed in stone tanks. The fermentation begins and is stopped after half the sugar has turned into alcohol by adding an eau-de-vie of grapes of 77% abv. After the harvest the best wines of the harvest can be identified and kept separate to make a vintage port. The young port spends two years aging in large wooden vats before it is bottled, where it can either be enjoyed young to appreciate its power and intense fruit, or it can be kept to age into greater maturity. |
