Tawny Ports are crafted from traditional Portuguese varietals like touriga nacional, touriga francesa, and tinta roriz. 10-Year Tawnys are a blend of superior quality wines from different vintages aged for an average of 10 years in large oak casks. Light brownish in color, they have rich, nutty flavors that make them an incredibly fitting and delicious end to a special meal.
