Description
Fonseca Tawny Port 750ml is a tawny port from Fonseca, the Douro port house founded in 1815 and run by five generations of the Guimaraens family. It spends three years ageing in small wooden casks of around 630 litres, where it gradually loses its youthful red colour and takes on an amber hue, becoming smoother and more mellow. The wines are then blended a few months before bottling for balance.

Fonseca suggests serving it slightly chilled at 12 to 16 degrees; it needs no decanting and keeps for around two months once opened. It pairs particularly well with almonds, berry fruit and dark chocolate desserts.
- Tawny port from Fonseca, Portugal
- Aged three years in small wooden casks

Tawny-red in colour fading to brick at the rim, it shows apricot and plum with mellow butterscotch and spice. The palate is rich and jammy, lifted on the finish by crisp acidity.
A versatile tawny for anyone who prefers a lighter, mellow port style, served cool after dinner or with dessert.
