Porto Valdouro Tawny is a Port from the Douro: a sweet fortified wine of around 19% ABV, aged in oak casks. That ageing gives it its amber-gold colour, velvety texture and mellow character. The nose is dominated by dried fruit — prune, fig and raisin — along with caramel, honey, roasted nuts and light woody nuances. On the palate it is full and warming, harmoniously sweet, with honeyed, nutty tones on a long finish. Serve at 14–16 °C, lightly chilled if preferred. It works on its own as a digestif and pairs with chocolate desserts and nut tarts, blue cheeses, almonds, walnuts and figs.
