Why You'll Love It
Rich and concentrated, with blackberry fruit, a fresh herbal edge and tannins that give the sweetness shape. Guimaraens offers the depth of Fonseca's vineyard sources in a style designed to become approachable earlier. Decant it for blue cheese, a chocolate tart or a leisurely after-dinner glass.
About The Producer
Founded in 1815, Fonseca built its reputation on deeply fruited Ports with the structure to age. Three Douro estates, Quinta do Panascal, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta de Santo António, underpin its distinctive style. Careful blending brings together the character of these different vineyard sites.
Winemaking Information
Made from traditional Douro grapes grown at Fonseca's principal estates, with foot-treading in granite lagares and fortification to retain natural grape sweetness. The dry winter and cool spring of 2012 contributed to a low-yielding vintage with freshness and aromatic definition. This is a single-vintage Port intended to develop in bottle and should be decanted to separate any sediment. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
