Fonseca NV Tawny Port
Fonseca NV Ruby Port
Black cherry and cassis fill the nose, joined by ripe plum and a subtle floral note. Full-bodied and sweet without losing shape, the palate carries dark berry fruit through velvety texture and firm, well-integrated tannins. Freshness keeps the richness composed, leading to a long, generous and fruit-driven finish.
Fonseca 2017 Vintage Port 750 mL
Dense black and red berries lead the nose, lifted by leafy balsamic detail, cedar and a distinct mineral edge. The palate is intensely concentrated and layered, with plush fruit carried by a velvety texture. Firm tannins and bright, continuous acidity keep the richness composed, while the finish stays long, powerful and persistent. Decant before serving, then pair with blue cheese, walnuts, dried figs or dark chocolate.
Fonseca 2003 Vintage Port 1.5 L
Deep in colour with a brick-red rim, opening on ripe cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant. Dark chocolate and cocoa add depth, while mint and warm spice bring lift. The palate is rich and powerful but remains harmonious, with crisp fruit and firm, silky tannins carrying the wine without heaviness. A softening texture suggests maturity, yet the structure remains clear through a long, expressive finish.
Fonseca 1985 Vintage Port
Blackberry, blackcurrant and raisin lead an inky, concentrated bouquet, with dark chocolate and a gentle savoury note adding depth. Full-bodied and round, the palate carries abundant fruit over thick, well-integrated tannins. A firm backbone keeps the sweetness composed, while the finish is long and velvety. Decant carefully and serve with Stilton or dark chocolate.
Fonseca Vintage Port 1970
Mature and beautifully poised, with dried plum, caramel and orange peel layered with exotic spice, cocoa and warm red fruit. The palate is sweet but finely tensioned, combining generous fruit with fresh acidity, settled tannins and a gently warming spirit. Long, balanced and savoury on the finish, it is ideal with Stilton, dark chocolate or toasted walnuts.
