Description
The Quinta de la Rosa 20 Year Old Tawny Port is made from the traditional port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, and Tinta Roriz. Each year carefully selected grapes are chosen to be foot trodden in granite lagares and a small number of the resulting wines are set aside to be aged in old 550l oak pipes for an average of 20 years before being blended and bottled. As with all of the Quinta de la Rosa ports, the 20 Year Old Tawny is fermented slightly longer to guarantee a dry finish.
Tasting Notes :
A deep, rusty ruby in color. The port reveals aromas of rich apricot preserves and almonds are accented by holiday spice and notes of citrus. The mouthfeel is generous, lively, and balanced, showing hints of fruitcake enlivened by a vibrant acidity that creates a long-lasting finish. An excellent and mature example of balance and longevity.
