Croft Tawny 10 yr
| Description: | Croft 10 Year Old is a blend of different years, aged for an average of 10 years in oak casks, then bottled for immediate drinking. Long ageing in casks in the cool and dark lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia gives it a combination of rich mellow fruit coupled with slight nuttiness. Croft have always maintained considerable stocks in reserve for their 10 Year Old and as a result, it has an excellent balance and concentration of flavours and aromas which greatly appeals to the connoisseur. Region Description. Aged tawny port is a fortified Portuguese wine aged in wood and one of the best known styles of port. It is generally a blend of ports from several years, aged in barrels for at least six years until it takes on the nutty, brown sugar and vanilla flavors, a silky texture and changes in color from deep ruby red to tawny. It is designated on the label as 10, 20, 30 or more years old (the age is the average age of the wine by taste). Many prefer its gentleness compared to the full intensity of vintage ports. It can be drunk both as an aperitif and as a dessert wine. (See PORT for more information on the region and fortification process.) |
