Grapes

Typically the main varieties used for our Tawny include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Francesa, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Cao and Tinto Roriz, which are all Portuguese varietals. Shiraz is also used.

Average Age 10 years old

Each year our 26 rows of Portuguese grape varietals are harvested at high sugar levels. This wine is then transferred into barrels and casks of different volumes for several years (anything between 5 and 50 years). These parcels of varying ages are then blended together prior to bottling to create the perfect balanced wine, for drinking now.

Our Tawny has concentrated ripe fruit and nutty aromas and a highly aromatic brandy spirit. The palate has outstanding length of lovely dried fruit, making it stand out from the crowd.
