This Port of Leith Tawny Port has been carefully matured in old oak to bring out fresh, vibrant red fruit flavours with delicate toasty and nutty notes. Medium bodied with cherries, plums, and cassis, it also carries a gentle nutty undertone. Indulge in this flavourful and expertly crafted port.
Tawny is the most delicate of Port styles. It is allowed to oxidise slightly as it matures in large oak vessels, giving the wine its slightly russet, tawny colour and adding a subtle, delicious complexity. This Reserve Tawny has been matured for 6 to 8 years.
About the Producer
When the guys at Port of Leith Distillery first tasted the samples from Martha’s Family Wines, they could not quite believe their taste buds. The wines had such vibrancy and quality, it was hard to believe that they are not a better known Port House.
This Portuguese family has incredibly long ties to the Douro Valley. The oldest vineyard in their estate has belonged to the family since 1727, but for most of their history the wines were sold on to larger producers to be sold under different brands, with only a tiny percentage bottled for the family’s private use. Throughout that time, the focus has been on the production of Tawny Ports. Their vineyards are based in the Baixo Corgo region of the Douro Valley, which is the part of the valley closest to the historic trading port of Porto.
