Fonseca 10 year old tawny is russet in colour with brilliant crimson highlights and a fragrant, ripe-fruit bouquet.

Fonseca 10 Year Old is made from selected red Ports grown in the best vineyards of the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. The wine ages in small oak casks, generally holding about 630 litres, where there is a relatively small volume of wine compared to the surface area of the vessel, so contact with the wood is proportionately greater.

As it matures in cask, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' color of youth and takes on the seductive amber hue known as 'tawny'. At the same time the wine becomes progressively smoother and mellower, its aromas gaining in richness and complexity. Ten years of wood ageing has given this wine its characteristic tawny color and its elegant and complex nose full of rich 'fruit cake' flavours, delicate nuttiness and hints of spice and fine oak.

Tasting Notes
Fonseca 10 Year Old Tawny is russet in colour with brilliant crimson highlights and a fragrant, ripe-fruit bouquet. Its smooth, silky texture and subtle oak nuances are balanced by a fresh acidity and tannic "grip" that culminate in a long, elegant, plumy finish.
