Favaios Muros Tawny Port

WHO ARE ADEGA DE FAVAIOS?

The Adega de Favaios Co-operative are known for bringing the best out of Portugal’s Douro Valley. This Muros Tawny Port blends several vintages with an average age of 3-4 years; blends of several Douro red varieties, predominantly Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela.

HOW IS TAWNY PORT MADE?

The crushed grapes are placed in fermentation tanks where they stay under maceration for a few days at controlled temperature. Fermentation is stopped by adding wine spirit, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. Then stored in oak vats, where they stay for at least two years before the blend is chosen to achieve the best style of Tawny Port.

TASTING NOTES:

Muros Tawny Port shows red and brown highlights in colour. The aroma is marked by ripe fruit, figs, nuts and some notes of caramel and spices with a layer of dark pepper. The palate is rich, velvety and full-bodied, very elegant and has a nice balance between the structure and sweetness. Dry fruit is combine with some caramel and nuttiness.

FOOD PAIRING:

This is great with a variety of cheeses and also traditional desserts like creme brulee.
