Tasting Notes
The nose is complex and spicy with aromas of toasted walnuts and butterscotch while rich ripe fruit comes through in the background. The palate is smooth and round with flavours of dried figs and caramel.
Method
The 10 Year Old Tawny is crafted from wines that have matured for an average of 10 years in 630 litre seasoned oak casks. During the long ageing process the fortified wine’s colour fades to a tawny hue, the tannins soften and it acquires complex aromas and flavours from oak as well as oxidative notes. This Port is bottled and ready for drinking upon release as it is already a very developed and layered fortified wine.
