- Notes: The Vieira de Sousa 20-year-old Tawny Port has an amber, golden color due to its long aging in casks. On the nose, it presents great delicacy with notes of dried fruit. A very smooth and elegant sweetness, very balanced and with a long finish. TO SAVE OR SERVE? Bottled after a long aging in wood, this Port is ready to drink and does not benefit from further bottle aging. The bottle should be kept upright, avoiding direct light and excessive humidity, ideally at a constant temperature (around 16°C-18°C). Once opened, it retains good tasting notes for approximately 2 months. It does not need to be decanted.
🍽️ Serving: Serve slightly chilled; ideally between 12–16ºC (depending on the style).
Excellent with aged cheeses, chocolate, dried fruits and desserts; also perfect on its own.
⏳ Potential for Evolution: Store in a cool, dark place; some styles benefit from bottle aging.
