Aroma: ripe berry fruit, nuttiness, chocolate, butterscotch

Palate: figgy, jammy, long finish

A nutty, mellow ten-year tawny with dried-fruit sweetness and a clean cask-aged finish.

What it pairs with

  • Almond tart
    Toasted nuts mirror the cask-aged walnut character.
  • Creme brulee
    Caramelised custard meets the tawny's honeyed nuttiness.
  • Aged Serra da Estrela cheese
    The tawny's dried fruit lifts the rich sheep's cheese.

History
