Martha's Tawny Port represents the art of traditional Portuguese aging. Unlike the Ruby variant, Tawny spends more time in contact with wood and air, which transforms its color from deep red to golden-brown hues. Produced by the Martha family in the heart of the Douro region, this wine is a testament to patience and craftsmanship, offering a much warmer and smoother aromatic profile.
Aroma and Taste:
Visually, the wine delights with a brilliant amber color. The nose is sophisticated, revealing aromas of dried figs, raisins, and dates, intertwined with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with a fine sweetness that melts on the tongue, leaving a long and comforting finish with echoes of honey and cinnamon.
Serving Recommendations:
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 12-14°C (slightly cooler than the Ruby variant). It is the ultimate companion for nut-based desserts, apple tart, or crème brûlée. It is also the classic partner for mature cheeses with a crystallized texture, such as an aged Cheddar or a well-aged local artisanal cheese.
Ingredients:
Grapes (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz), grape spirit for fortification, preservative (potassium metabisulfite). Contains sulfites.
