The 30 Year Old Tawny, an Exceptional Porto

This 30 Year Old Tawny comes from a selection of red Portos from the eastern Douro valley, aged in seasoned oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. The cool, humid coastal climate promotes slow and delicate aging over three decades. This cuvée perfectly illustrates Taylor's house style, combining the distinct characters of its vineyards. The prolonged barrel maturation develops this unique aromatic complexity, blending dried fruits, honey, and nutty notes that have made it a benchmark among long-aged Tawnies.
