Description

Fonseca is a renowned producer of Vintage Port, with a history dating back to 1815. The company was founded by two families, the Fonsecas and the Monteiros, who joined forces to create a brand that would become synonymous with quality and tradition.

Fonseca's Vintage Port is made from grapes grown in the Douro Valley, a region in northern Portugal that is known for its steep hillsides and rugged terrain. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used in the production of the wine.

The style of production for Fonseca's Vintage Port is traditional, with the wine being aged in oak barrels for up to two years before being bottled. This allows the wine to develop its complex flavours and aromas, which include notes of blackberry, plum, and chocolate.

Fonseca's Vintage Port is a rich and full-bodied wine, with a deep ruby colour and a long, lingering finish. It is best enjoyed after being decanted for several hours, to allow the wine to fully open up and reveal its full potential.

In addition to its Vintage Port, Fonseca also produces a range of other Port wines, including Tawny Port and Ruby Port. These wines are made using the same traditional methods as the Vintage Port, but are aged for shorter periods of time and have a slightly different flavour profile.

Overall, Fonseca is a producer that is steeped in history and tradition, and its Vintage Port is a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or a casual drinker, Fonseca's Vintage Port is a wine that is sure to impress.

Tasting notes

96 Points - The wine Advocate

The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060.
