Description
Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Fonseca from Portugal. Fonseca’s three vineyards-Quinta do Panascal, Quinta de Cruzeiro and Quinta de Santo António-all form the backbone of the famous Fonseca Vintage Portos, produced only in vintages that are declared as being of the highest quality. Fonseca is recognized across the Douro as a leader of viticultural practices for Porto and has spearheaded development of organic and sustainable programs across the region. The fruit for Fonseca’s Vintage Portos is trod by foot in granite lagares on the estate. The wine is aged for two years in oak before being bottled unfiltered. A dense, opaque wine with classic Fonseca aromas and flavors: dense blackberry and blackcurrant, spice, coffee, cocoa, and prune. Thick, velvety tannins give the wine a voluptuous density on the palate. This wine will develop for decades in the bottle. Pairs well with blue cheese and desserts made with dark chocolate or berries. It should be decanted before serving due to sediment in the bottle.
