Quinta De La Rosa Tawny Port 75cl

This is a young tawny port, produced through rapid aging in small, old oak 550 litre pipes (or barrels) to give an aged appearance and flavour. It is blended from our stocks of Port to give this young Tawny its characteristic style which will be the same from year to year. As with all La Rosa products, this Tawny is bottled at La Rosa, allowing us to ensure quality from grape to bottle. Unlike most port shippers, all products are stored and bottled in the Douro (at La Rosa and not Porto), allowing full traceability and ensuring quality from grape to bottle.

Our Tawny Port exhibits a nuttiness and a complexity not often found in these types of tawnies. Compared with the Ruby, the Tawny is much paler in colour and lighter in style. As always, La Rosa's house style is slightly drier at the finish than most. There should be no confusion between this Tawny port and our old fine 10 year "Tonel No 12". It should be consumed within 2 to 3 years of bottling.

Good to drink chilled as an aperitif as well as after dinner. This Port has been lightly filtered and does not require decanting.
