Yr Old Porto Tawny 500ml 2010

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for Port wine production with a long tradition of quality and craftsmanship.

This Tawny Port is typically made from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, including:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

The wine undergoes traditional Port wine production methods:

• Grapes are harvested from the Douro vineyards and crushed to extract juice.
• Fermentation is interrupted by the addition of grape spirit (aguardente) to preserve natural sweetness.
• The wine is aged for an average of 10 years in wooden casks, allowing gradual oxidation and development of complex flavors.
• Blending is carefully done to maintain consistency and quality before bottling.

The 10 Year Old Vallado Tawny Port presents a rich amber color with golden highlights. It offers a complex bouquet of dried fruits, nuts, and subtle spice notes. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced with flavors of caramel, figs, raisins, and toasted almonds, finishing with a lingering sweetness and gentle acidity.

This Tawny Port pairs excellently with:

• Blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort
• Nut-based desserts like pecan pie or almond tart
• Dried fruit compotes and fig-based dishes
• Dark chocolate and chocolate desserts
• Roasted nuts and charcuterie boards
