10 Year Old Tawny Port Quinta do Infantado 2015 (37.5cl)

This wonderful Tawny port is a rich golden brown in colour with a wonderfully bright sheen. On the palate it is intense and complex with flavours of raisins, honey and spice.

This is the perfect contemplation wine at the end of the meal, but you can enjoy with an unctuously rich blue cheese such as Dolcelatte or even high cocoa chocolate and even worth a try with a really rich beef casserole.

Tawny Port is without doubt one of my favourite styles and a 10 Year old gives a super balance between vibrancy of fruit, quality and value.

At Quinta do Infantado the grapes are trodden by foot and fermented in the traditional lagares. Fermentation lasted longer than many estates, resulting in drier wines. 77% ABV wine brandy was used to stop fermentation and the Tawny is a blend of different vintages with an average age of 10 years. The wine is aged in 500 litre pipas.  A blend of 33% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), 33% Touriga Franca, 34% Touriga Nacional.
