Product description
Located in the Douro Valley the firm was founded in 1815 by Fonsecas and Monteiros before being led by the Guimaraens family, who established Fonseca reputation as a ‘first growth’ Vintage Port house. Today the Yeatmans and their descendants are in charge. Since 1970 they have invested in the vineyards, taking a leading role in its renovation and have become a pioneer of organic and sustainable viticulture.
This port is deep dark ruby with a broad red halo becoming brick colored at its tip. Generous and seductive nose, infused with black currant and cherry. Exotic, resinous herbal aromas emerging an hour after decanting. Later, the fruit becomes juicier and creamier, with rich raspberry jam flavors overlaying the dark fruit base.The full-bodied, round mouthfeel is supported by thick, well-integrated tannins, offering an abundance of delicious chocolate and blackcurrant flavors, which linger on a long, velvety finish. A wine that lies between youth and maturity.
