Why This Wine
Winemaking
In the barrel-ageing process, aged tawny Ports are subjected to a gradual transformationthrough contact with air and wood. This results in considerable evaporation and concentration, with approximately 45% of the original volume of a 30 year old tawny disappearing before it is eventually bottled. Constant attention is needed as maturing barrels and vats of varied sizes will show marked differences as they age. The master blender, cellar master and coopers all play their parts in nurturing the maturing wines until finally a beautifully balanced aged tawny Port emerges

The wine’s flavours and texture are already integrated and stable, ready to drink immediately
