Royal Oporto 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Winemaker Royal Oporto on the winery

“We are part of Real Companhia Velha, one of Portugal’s oldest wine companies, founded in 1756. With Royal Oporto, we showcase what centuries of Port-making experience mean to us: carefully selected wines, patient ageing and the expertise of our cellar masters. Blending is particularly important for our aged Tawny Ports. By bringing together Ports of different ages and characteristics, we create a harmonious style in which smoothness, complexity and elegance take centre stage.”

And on Oporto, Portugal

“Our 10 Year Old Tawny is a blend of Port wines from the Douro, including wines from the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior sub-regions. The wines mature in oak casks and larger wooden vats, where gradual ageing softens the structure and develops aromas of dried fruit, nuts and spice. The core of the blend consists of wines averaging around ten years of age, complemented by a small proportion of older Port for added complexity. The result is a tawny-coloured Port with notes of roasted almonds, mature fruit and warm spice, finishing softly and elegantly.”
