Description
This is a 10 Year Old aged Tawny from Royal Oporto, the house brand of Real Companhia Velha, Portugal's oldest wine company. It draws on the traditional Douro red grapes grown across the company's quintas, fortified with grape spirit and set aside for extended cask ageing.
The 10 year indication reflects the average age of the wines in the blend, matured in selected oak casks in the Gaia lodges. A decade of slow oxidation replaces the youthful fresh-fruit character with the mellow, layered notes typical of aged Tawny, while the oak lends a velvety texture and a warm amber-gold colour with a tawny rim.
The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and dried fig lifted by cinnamon and nutmeg, while the palate offers toasted almond, spiced fruitcake and caramel before a finish of candied orange peel and roasted nuts. Rich yet balanced, it is best served slightly cool after dinner, or alongside almond tart, crema catalana or aged cheese.
