Description

Fonseca - Tawny Porto is a beautifully balanced and well-crafted tawny port from the renowned Fonseca house. Known for its rich, nutty flavors and smooth texture, this tawny port showcases the elegance and complexity that the Fonseca brand is known for. Aged in oak barrels for several years, it develops a golden-brown hue and a rich, mature profile with hints of dried fruit, nuts, and subtle spice. It is an ideal choice for those who enjoy a smoother, more mellow port with depth and sophistication.

Fonseca’s Tawny Porto is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the Douro Valley, one of Portugal’s most prestigious wine regions. The wine undergoes fermentation and then ages in oak casks for a period of several years, allowing it to gradually develop a more delicate, oxidized character. The result is a tawny port that is smooth, flavorful, and complex, with a perfect balance of fruit, nuts, and wood.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Golden amber with tinges of red, showcasing the wine’s age and time spent in oak.

NOSE:
Aromas of dried fruits like fig, raisin, and apricot, complemented by hints of toasted almond, walnut, and caramel. A delicate touch of spice, such as cinnamon and vanilla, adds complexity.

TASTE:
Rich and smooth, with flavors of dried fruit, caramelized sugar, toasted nuts, and a touch of chocolate. The wine’s sweetness is balanced by its acidity, making it feel well-rounded and not overly heavy.

FINISH:
A long, velvety finish with lingering notes of caramel, hazelnut, and a touch of spice, demonstrating the wine’s maturity and refined character.

Food Pairing

Fonseca Tawny Porto pairs exceptionally well with a variety of sweet and savory dishes:

Cheese: Pairs beautifully with rich cheeses such as aged Gouda, Manchego, or blue cheese. The port’s sweetness complements the saltiness and intensity of these cheeses.

Chocolate Desserts: Ideal with chocolate-based desserts, such as chocolate cake, chocolate tarts, or dark chocolate truffles, where the wine’s rich flavor enhances the cocoa notes.

Nut-Based Desserts: Complements desserts made with nuts, such as almond cake, pecan pie, or hazelnut biscotti, echoing the port’s nutty character.

Dried Fruits: Works well with dried fruits like figs, dates, or apricots, highlighting the port’s dried fruit flavors.

Foie Gras: Pairs wonderfully with foie gras or pâté, where the port’s sweetness and smooth texture contrast the richness of the dish.
