Quevedo 10 Years Tawny Port – Classic barrel aged port from the Douro

Quevedo 10 year Tawny Port is the epitome of elegant, barrel-aged port from the Douro Valley. This 10 year tawny port has the beautiful mahogany color and characteristic orange hues that only years of aging in oak barrels can produce. It’s a port that combines tradition, depth and silky balance – perfect for cheese, nuts and quiet evenings in good company.

The name Tawny refers to its warm, brick-brown color – like the plumage of the tawny owl. This color is created when the port is slowly aged in oak barrels, where oxygenation produces the complex nut and caramel notes that characterize a successful tawny port.

Quevedo 10 year Tawny Port is composed of carefully selected barrels with an average age of 10 years. The long barrel aging gives a rounded, creamy structure and an impressive aromatic depth. It is a harmonious and balanced port where the sweetness never becomes heavy, but is elegantly carried by freshness and finesse.
