Back in September, I had the pleasure of meeting a man called Thiago. Thiago is a member of the Real Compania Velha family. This family produce Royal Oporto, an absolutely stunning range of Ports. While my friend and I spoke to Thiago, we happily made our way through his family’s range of fortified wines. They were wonderful.
The Royal Oporto Tawny is composed by a blend of differently dated Ports, which are rigorously selected and aged in oak vats, resulting in an average of 4 years. So this is a young Tawny Port.
It offers immense complexity of ripe red fruit notes and oaky scents. It’s young refined. Its strong dry fruit flavours are evidence of its ageing in oak, which are compensated by a balanced sweetness and a long finish.
Essentially, if you’re into slightly nuttier ports with a bit more complexity then this tawny is what you need!
