Unveil the captivating essence of Fonseca’s Vintage Port wines, an embodiment of mastery in the art of winemaking since the mid-19th century. Embrace the allure of these wines, characterized by their intricate layers of fruit that command attention and evolve into opulent richness and complexity over time.

Fonseca stands as a pioneer among Vintage Port producers, crafting wines that resonate with both enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Their commitment to inspired production, profound viticultural knowledge, and understanding of terroir sets them apart. Unlike Port wines aging in wood, Fonseca’s Vintage Ports mature gracefully in the bottle, enhancing their character with the unique features of the vineyard and the winemaker’s touch.

Sourced from Fonseca’s historic estates – Cruzeiro and Santo António in the Pinhão valley, contributing to the blend for a century, and the Panascal estate in the Távora valley – these Vintage Port wines encapsulate the essence of exceptional years.

Fonseca Porto, a testament to timeless elegance, presents a wine that demands a laid-down position for optimal aging. Elevate the tasting experience by decanting, unlocking the full spectrum of flavors within this vegan-friendly masterpiece. Serve between 16ºC to 18 ºC to savor the symphony of aromas and tastes.

Immerse yourself in the detailed Tasting Notes, where a narrow magenta rim embraces a purple-black core. The nose unfolds with a burst of dense, juicy berries, intertwined with vibrant red berry aromas, and a schisty minerality preserving the lush fruitiness. The palate delivers an explosion of concentrated fruit, enveloping in texture, while robust tannins and continuous acidity impart firmness and structure. The wine, massive and powerful, showcases the signature complex and layered fruit characteristic of Fonseca.

Delve into the viticultural journey of the year, marked by a cold and dry start leading to early shoots. Dry spring and early flowering set the stage for an exceptional vintage. Quinta do Panascal initiated the harvest on September 6th, followed by Cruzeiro and Santo António, starting on the 10th and 17th, respectively. Despite low overall production, the berries’ thick skins yielded musts of impressive depth and exceptional quality.

Elevate your moments with Fonseca’s Vintage Port, an embodiment of tradition, expertise, and the essence of exceptional vineyards. Download the PDF, share, and embark on a sensory journey with a wine that transcends time.
