FINE TAWNY
PORT
PRODUCTION
Traditional port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, and Tinta
Roriz.
La Rosa’s Fine Tawny uses only category A graded grapes – the very best that the Douro has
to offer. These wines spend a minimum of three years in old 550l oak pipes before being
blended to show the same characteristics year to year.
TERROIR
Still largely unexplored, the terroir in the Douro offers incredible opportunity. None more
so than La Rosa’s, whose vines rise dramatically out of the river with the imposing Vale do
Inferno vineyard, and climb majestically up to an altitude of 500m with Lamelas, whose
magnificent views overlook the very heart of the region. The estate’s grapes are category
A – the very best the Douro has to offer.
Remarkable freshness and minerality provided by the Quinta’s unique terroir, along with
a steadfast desire to ensure that the brandy is well integrated means that all of our Ports
are made in drier ‘house style’ without any overpowering sweetness.
TASTING NOTES
Thanks to the high-quality grapes that are use to make out Tawny it is a little darker in
colour than others of the same age.Tawny displays lovely light hints of nuts and caramel.
