Promotion valid from the 19th of May 2025 up to the 26th of May 2025 and subject to the available stockWinemaking:The backbone of Fonseca vintage ports are the wines drawn primarily from Fonseca’s three quintas, all located in the Cima Corgo: Quinta de Santo António, Quinta do Cruzeiro, and Quinta do Panascal. The finest grapes from these quintas produce its classic vintage ports. The grapes are still trodden by foot in the stone ‘lagares’ of Cruzeiro and Panascal. Fonseca vintage ports are renowned for their voluptuous rich fruit, mouth filling density, tannic structure and ‘grip’. They are wines of breed, balance and great complexity.
Grape Varieties:
Old Vines
Tasting Notes:
Deep purple colour with a thin purple maple. The nose features very fine and pure black fruit, a fusion of black cherry, cassia and blackberry jelly aromas with notes of crushed mint, an ethereal fragrance of violets and hints of ripe tropical fruits. The year gave an additional layer of purity and refinement to the subtle and complex fruity character of Fonseca, in addition to its attractive minerality. In the mouth it is supported by a vibrant acidity and tight tannins that provide structure but also texture and volume. The fresh berries tastes remain until the end. A finely crafted and perfectly balanced Vintage Port.
