Tasting Notes

Fonseca Crusted Port Engraved With Happy Birthday

A birthday gift that feels special from the moment it's unwrapped. The wooden box and engraved bottle make it ideal for milestone birthdays such as a 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th, and a thoughtful present for a dad, grandad, uncle, boss or friend who enjoys a traditional after-dinner drink.

It's made to be opened at the end of a birthday meal and shared with the cheeseboard. The engraved bottle and wooden box are often kept long after the Port is gone. Because it's pre-engraved rather than made to order, it can be dispatched right away, which makes it a reliable choice when a birthday has crept up on you.

Tasting Profile:

  • Appearance: Deep, dark ruby.
  • Nose: Powerful and aromatic, with dark berries, redcurrant and raspberry leaf, and a hint of mint.
  • Palate: Rich and layered, with dark berry fruit, plump raisin, warm spice and eucalyptus, supported by balanced tannins.
  • Finish: Elegant and finely balanced, with a long, fresh finish and a touch of marzipan.

Fonseca Crusted Port FAQs

What is crusted port?

Crusted port is a traditional bottle-aged style made from a blend of robust wines. After ageing in large wooden vats, it is bottled without filtration and continues to mature in bottle, developing complexity and forming natural sediment known as the “crust.”

How is this port made?

Following fermentation and fortification, the selected wines are matured for four years in large oak vats. The blend is then bottled unfiltered and cellared for approximately three additional years before release, allowing layers of flavour and structure to develop naturally.

How should it be served and enjoyed?

Serve at 14–16 °C and decant prior to serving to separate sediment. Pour into a large wine glass to allow its rich fruity nose to fully express itself. It’s ideal for birthday celebrations and dinner parties.

Why is this a great birthday gift?

The engraved “Happy Birthday” message and wooden gift box presentation goes beyond a standard wine gift.
