Description

Fonseca - Guimaraens Vintage Porto is an exceptional, structured port from Fonseca, crafted in select years when the quality of the grapes is high but not declared as a classic vintage. Known for its approachability, elegance, and concentration, Guimaraens Vintage Porto is made from the same high-quality grapes as Fonseca’s classic vintage ports but is designed to be enjoyed slightly earlier. It still retains the bold flavors and aging potential that Fonseca is famous for, offering a well-balanced, more accessible vintage port experience.

Fonseca’s Guimaraens Vintage Porto is produced using traditional methods from grapes grown in the Douro Valley’s top vineyards. After fermentation, the wine is aged for a short time in oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered to continue maturing in the bottle. The Guimaraens vintage is known for its intense fruit, floral complexity, and well-integrated tannins, making it ideal for cellaring while still being enjoyable in its youth.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep, opaque purple with a ruby rim, indicating its concentration and youth.

NOSE:
Intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, mingled with floral notes of violets and a hint of chocolate and spice.

TASTE:
Full-bodied and rich, with flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry compote, supported by firm tannins and a balanced acidity. Notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and spice add depth, while the wine’s structure ensures a well-rounded mouthfeel.

FINISH:
Long and powerful, with lingering notes of dark fruit, subtle floral hints, and a touch of minerality, showcasing the wine’s potential for further aging.

Food Pairing

Guimaraens Vintage Porto pairs beautifully with a range of foods, especially those that complement its intense fruit and tannic structure:

Cheese: Ideal with strong, salty cheeses like Stilton, Roquefort, or mature cheddar, where the port’s fruitiness balances the saltiness and richness.

Chocolate: Perfect with dark chocolate desserts or chocolate truffles, as the port’s berry flavors harmonize with the cocoa notes.

Game Meats: Pairs well with roasted game, such as venison or duck, as the port’s robust character enhances the savory flavors.

Berry Desserts: Enjoy with berry-based desserts like blackberry tart or mixed berry cobbler, which mirror the wine’s fruit profile.

Dried Fruits and Nuts: Complements dishes featuring dried figs, dates, or roasted almonds, highlighting the wine’s nuanced sweetness and complexity.
