Fonseca's long port history dates back to 1815, when the two Fonseca and Monteiros families embarked on this adventure. With the right mindset and craftsmanship, the port house has grown into a global player. Fonseca's motto is determination and quality. As long as you're determined, quality will follow, says the current owners, the Guimaraerns family. It is the Guimaraerns family that has been working hard for over a hundred years to achieve the current quality of Fonseca ports.

A lot of work for this Fonseca Aged Tawny 20 Years Old

The grapes used for this Fonseca Aged Tawny 20 Years Old come from various vintages with an average age of 20 years. The wines used for this blend have spent all this time in small oak barrels, resulting in phenomenal aging. However, before the wines can be stored, a great deal of work must first be done in the vineyards. The vineyards for this 20-year-old port are all located at the top of the slopes in the Douro Valley. Here, the grapes receive not only the warmth of the sun but also sufficient cooling from the altitude and the wind that blows through the valley. This is crucial for a balanced growing season for the grapes. Once these grapes have reached the correct ripeness, the manual harvest begins. Only the finest fruit is selected for pressing and long aging. This ensures the wine's quality is well maintained.

The taste of Fonseca's 20-year-old port

This 20-year-old port is a bottle perfect for treating yourself or giving as a gift for a special occasion. When we look at the Fonseca 20-Year-Old Matured in Wood in the glass, we see the characteristic amber color of an old port. The older the port, the lighter its color becomes. In the aroma of this 20-year-old red port, we noted aromas of ripe black fruit, cinnamon, a hint of oak, and a hint of vanilla. The taste is wonderfully full, powerful, and silky smooth. It offers flavor nuances of ripe cherries and plums, currants, figs, and a touch of spice with a mild vanilla undertone. The finish is wonderfully intense and leaves you wanting another sip. Enjoy a piece of aged cheese, and your evening will be complete!
