Fonseca 20 Year Old Tawny Port FAQ's

What style is this and how sweet/dry is it?

A richly sweet, elegantly aged tawny port. The extended oxidative ageing produces a balanced sweetness supported by warm, complex flavours and a refined, lingering finish.

Which grapes are in this blend?

This traditional aged tawny is crafted from classic Douro red varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cao, selected for structure, complexity, and compatibility with long maturation. Blends vary slightly by cask and selection but always reflect the Douro’s heritage.

How is it made?

After fermentation, the wine is fortified with grape spirit to preserve natural sugars. It then spends around 20 years maturing in seasoned oak casks, where controlled exposure to air softens tannins, deepens colour, and develops rich, nutty, and dried fruit characteristics typical of aged tawnies.

When and how is it best enjoyed?

Lightly chilled is best - around 12–14 °C - revealing its balance of richness and freshness. This tawny is ideal as an after‑dinner indulgence, at festive occasions, or as a thoughtful gift for lovers of aged fortified wine. It’s equally enjoyable shared with friends in relaxed, sociable settings.
