The Wine
Selected from the lighter wines of each year, these Portos are chosen for ageing in small oak casks to develop their style. ROBERTSON'S TAWNY PORTO has the fruit and style of great Porto, but with an added finesse. Pale in colour and light in body this Porto is superb as a chilled aperitif, or accompanying an appetizer, yet satisfying when served at the end of a meal.
Tasting Notes
Clear red amber colours with a light intense body, open up to aromas of vanilla and evolved dried fruits. The elegant harmony and fresh flavour of red fruits unfold in the mouth and combine with the complexity of wood ageing and a good finish.
Food Pairing
ROBERTSON'S TAWNY PORTO is a delicious accompaniment to any dessert with caramel, such as crème brulee or tarte tatin, or strong blue cheeses like Roquefort. To be more daring, match with foie gras or a creamy seafood vol-au-vent.
Serving Suggestions
Requires no decanting. Serve in a large glass. Can be served slightly chilled, or over ice.
Storing
Should be stored standing, avoid intense light and maintain a constant temperature (16º C-18º C).

Recommended maximum shelf life is 12 - 18 months.
