Portos

Tawny

Dried fruit, spice and an aged amber colour — raised in the company of oxygen.

Tawny Portos are blends of several harvests, aged a minimum of three years in small 500–600-litre horizontal neutral oak puncheons to tease out their oxidative profile, dried fruit and spice, and aged amber colour. Tawny and Reserve (Fine) Tawny are fruitier and more voluptuous; the 10, 20 and 30 Year Tawnies grow ever nuttier and more velvety.

At Quinta do Tedo we skip the basic style altogether: our range opens with Fine Tawny, a Tawny Reserve aged 7–8 years — beyond the 6-year minimum the Reserve style requires. And because Tawny is raised in the company of oxygen, an open bottle keeps for 1.5–2 months — perfect for a daily glass.
