Sipping Fine Wine

Fonseca Port was founded in 1822 and successive generations of the Guimaraens family have upheld the Company’s reputation. Nice amber color with aromas of sweet berry fruits and spice notes. On the palate ripe cherry and berry flavors with sweet cinnamon spice and oak. Soft texture, lingering finish ending with a slight nutty character. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Fresh and Bright! Red color with brick shade around the rim. Plums, caramel and baking spices all dominate the nose and pallet. Rich and jammy. Decent amount of acidity. Excellent QPR!

Rich butterscotch envelopes orange liqueur and marula fruit notes. Soft and smooth with moderate sweetness balanced by a hint of acidity. A delicious accompaniment to chocolate.

A little sweeter than I was expecting, but with a 20% alc by vol, after a glass I no longer cared about the sweetness.
