Port
Taylor’s Fine Tawny is aged for up to three years in large old oak in Vila Nova de Gaia at the mouth of the mighty Douro River; home to port.
It is a sweet, medium ruby coloured wine with medium body and finish; a lighter style of port and bottled ready to drink. It does not require any further ageing in bottle and will not evolve in flavour further.
Drink lightly chilled with tasty cheese and dried fruit or as an aperitif on its own.
Character
This Fine Tawny has fervent fans around the world who love it for its approachability and its caramel nuttiness. And who are we to argue?
Style
Young, vibrant wines are expertly blended and oak aged for up to three years. Fine Tawny has a fruitiness of youth and a nuttiness from the casks, while the ageing makes it lighter in appearance than ruby ports. A not-so-dark horse.
Goes well with
Creamier desserts like rice pudding as well as dried fruit and nuts. Pairs brilliantly with after-lunch card games.
Niepoort is one of the oldest port families in the Douro in Portugal; the home of port and producers of a range of outstanding sweet ports, including this refreshing white. This is made the same way as ruby port, only using white grape varieties, all indigenous to Portugal.
Serve on ice in a short glass or lightly chilled as an aperitif or late summer after drink. Surprisingly, deliciously different and very, very good.
The grapes used in the production of Dow’s Fine Ruby were a blend of traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cao. Dow’s Fine Ruby was aged in seasoned oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for an average of 3 years, and bottled when ready to drink. Exuberant youthful fruit flavours make it perfect for informal drinking.
Warre’s Otima 10 Year-Old-Tawny balances the generosity of fresh, youthful fruit with the sophistication and elegance that a decade in seasoned wood brings to the wines. The Port displays amplitude, combining fruit-driven volume with the seductive mellowness and delicacy of wood ageing.
Rich tawny colour, with an excellent nose of nuts and hints of mature fruit. On the palate light and delicate, beautifully rounded, with hints of dried fruits, and a long elegant finish.
Taylor’s Fine Ruby a blend of full bodied Port wines aged for around two years in large oak vats in Taylor’s cellars, or ‘lodges’, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
As they age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby colour. They are then blended together for balance and consistency. With its firm tannins and concentrated fruitiness, Fine Ruby is perfect for the classic port-and-cheese combination.
It is particularly good with blue-veined and richly flavoured soft cheeses. It also pairs well with berry fruit and dark chocolate flavours and, like all red Ports, makes an excellent after dinner drink.
