Why We Love It

I love how this tawny port combines elegance with real drinkability. The dried‑fruit richness is beautifully lifted by fresh aromatics, and the long, smooth finish makes it incredibly satisfying. It’s versatile enough for cheese, desserts or simply sipping on its own, and the balance between fruit and maturity feels spot‑on. A quietly impressive bottle that always delivers more than you expect.

Tawny Port FAQ's

How should I serve Tawny Port?

Tawny Port is best served slightly chilled, typically between 12–14°C, which enhances its nutty, caramel and dried‑fruit character.

Does Tawny Port need decanting?

Most Tawny Ports do not require decanting, as they are filtered and clarified before bottling. You can explore more in our Port decanting guide.

How long does Tawny Port last once opened?

Thanks to long cask ageing, Tawny Port keeps very well after opening - usually 4–8 weeks if stored upright in a cool, dark place. Our Port storage recommendations explain how to keep it at its best.

What’s the difference between Tawny Port ages (10, 20, 30, 40 Year)?

The age on the label reflects the average age of the blend.

  • 10 Year: fresher, lighter, more fruit‑driven.
  • 20 Year: balanced, nutty, caramelised.
  • 30 Year: deeper, more complex and concentrated.
  • 40 Year: intense, elegant and exceptionally refined.

Each step up in aged port reflects greater time in cask and more complexity.
