Being the youngest of the 4 Tawny with an indication of age, the Vasques de Carvalho 10 Years presents an elegance and a unique distinction in its category, which marks the profile of the company in wines aged in wood. Lovely freshness to the finish – not a trace of heaviness despite the richness of the flavour profile
Food-Pairing
a perfect
match to sweet pastries, such as apple pie with cinnamon, as well a delicacy with strong cheeses and foie gras. To be enjoyed slightly chilled.
Grapes: Tinta Barocca, Touriga Francesa, Touriga Nacional
A blend of wines aged between 7 and 14 years, balancing the fruit of the youth and the maturity of the age
Winemaker Jaime Costa is in charge of the portfolio. Having worked for 16 years at Burmester, the former Revista de Vinhos Fortified Winemaker of the Year 2005 is plainly thrilled once again to have such fine and rare aged Port wines at his disposal. And his timing is good. The recent spate of headline grabbing, luxury-priced Very Old Tawny Ports means that Tawny Ports are, at last, having their day in the sun
