Wine Port Tawny Reserve

If you like sweet, fruity wines, you have to try the wine Port Tawny Reserve! It is matured in wooden barrels for 7+ years. The Tawny Reserve keeps part of the sugar present in the local grapes of Douro. Among the most used varieties, the Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinto de Cão strains stand out, but there are -at least- 27 more.

The wine Port Tawny is named after the amber colour because of the way it looks and it should always remain standing because it doesn't mature in the bottle -in fact, you should have it in the first 6 months after opening it.

If you want to serve your guests and see them happy and smiling, you can marry it with cheese and chocolate desserts.
