Fonseca 10 Year Old Tawny Port - 75cl

Imagine candied orange peel dipped in dark chocolate, a sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts, the faintest whiff of polished antique wood. This tawny port has shed the deep ruby hues of youth, mellowing into a russet glow. It hails from Fonseca's renowned vineyards, where sun-drenched grapes are transformed. Unlike some ports, it is ready to drink without decanting. Smooth and elegant, it balances sweetness with a delightful tang and a lingering, sophisticated finish.

This rich, gently spiced port, with its notes of dried fruit and nuts, is a fine way to finish a meal, served slightly chilled alongside a wedge of deeply dark chocolate.

Fonseca has always been a leading name in Port, tracing its origins back to the early 19th century. While the house style is classic - firm and structured with bright fruit - it's in their Vintage Ports that they really shine. Fonseca's recent vintages have captivated critics, fetching some of the highest prices in the Douro. This success stems from the family's dedication, with David Guimaraens leading the charge, and their exceptional vineyards at Quinta do Panascal and Quinta do Val Muros. If you're searching for Port with both richness and poise, Fonseca is a name you should know.
