Fonseca vintage ports are noted for their luscious fruitiness which develops great opulence and complexity with age. These are released only when a year produces outstanding wines with long term ageing potential. These classic vintage ports are a blend of wines from three distinctive vineyards, Cruzeiro, Santo Antonio and Panascal. Each of these contribute characteristics such as concentrated black fruit flavours with a firm tannic “grip”, opulent luscious fruitiness and dense velvety texture with flavour complexity and vibrancy of colour followed by a fine scented character and fresh acidity.
Although they can be enjoyed when young, Fonseca vintage ports will continue to improve in the bottle for many decades. They have the stamina and aromatic potential to last over a hundred years! Attracting the highest scores and prices, they are favoured not only by fine wine enthusiasts but also by collectors and investors.
