Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port 50cl

Expert Opinion

In the press...

"This is the modern face of tawny port and comes beautifully packaged. Fruity and appealing with red cherry, spice and raisin flavours, this is sweet and rounded with fruit-cake character."

"This fresh, nutty style of port is a delicious match for anything you might normally serve with sweet wine, madeira or sauternes - rich puddings, cheese and chocolate cake. Serve lightly chilled."

Regional info

Douro is a Portuguese wine region centered around the Douro River in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region. It is sometimes referred to as the Alto Douro (upper Douro), as it is located some distance upstream from Porto, sheltered by mountain ranges from coastal influence. It is very hot during the summer reaching temperature in excess of 40 degrees celcius in the summer perfect for the indigenious grape varieties of this region. The region has Portugal's highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC). While the region is associated primarily with Port wine production (fortified wine), the Douro also produces table wine (non-fortified wines).
