General Information
Feuerheerd’s 10 years Tawny Port is a splendid example of craftsmanship and tradition from the Douro Valley, Portugal. With careful selection of grapes and an average aging of ten years in oak barrels, this port embodies all the characteristics you expect from a high-quality Tawny. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully processed, after which the wine slowly oxidizes and transforms in barrels, resulting in its rich and complex flavor profile.
Taste Profile
This Tawny Port charms with its deep amber color and lively aromatic complexity. Aromas of ripe figs, dried fruit, and nuts are accompanied by subtler notes of caramel and cinnamon. The taste is lush and full-bodied, with a rich structure and a long, elegant finish in which the influence of the oak subtly resonates.
Serving Advice
Feuerheerd’s Tawny Port is best enjoyed lightly chilled, around 12-16°C. It is not only an excellent conclusion to a meal but also perfect as an accompaniment to cheese platters, nuts, and rich desserts such as crème brûlée or chocolate mousse.
- Serve lightly chilled as a meal conclusion
- Ideal with hard cheeses or blue cheese

Fun Fact
Did you know that Tawny Port gets its name from the ‘tawny’ (pale brown) color that develops through long aging in oak barrels? Unlike Ruby Ports, which are fruity and intense, Tawny Port has a more subtle, complex character that evolves over the years.
