Winemaker's Notes

Fortified Sweet Red Wine
Our Ports are made from Foch grapes and fortified with grape brandy. The brandy is added to stop the fermentation, which leaves the natural sweetness of the grapes.
Our Tawny Port was aged in American oak barrels for 5 years, and has a garnet hue because of the longer aging in the barrel. It exhibits a nutty flavor and has all the class and complexity of a world class Port.
This is a smooth sipping wine to be enjoyed with loved ones and friends. Tawny Port is ready to drink or can be aged 20 years or more.
