Noval 10 year old Tawny is a blend of old Ports from different vintages, matured in oak casks all their life and with an average age of 10 years.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
A beautiful Old Tawny colour, recognisable from its shine. Amongst the complex aromas, young and very lively fruit blends prettily with appealing and typical aromas of dry fruit such as hazel nut. Rich and smooth on the palate, it delivers an elegant structure and long lingering finish.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve cool at 9-14°C. Decantation is not necessary because this filtered port has no sediment. It is ready to drink as soon as it is bottled. It can be enjoyed for about 3 months, keeping the bottle in a cool place.
Food Pairing:
Particularly enjoyable with a dessert, with dark chocolate or cheese. Also on its own at the end of a meal.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
