NV Fonseca Crusted Port

>Fonseca’s NV Crusted Port is a prized, traditional vintage crafted in limited quantities. This unique blend of robust wines is aged for four years in large wooden vats and then bottled unfiltered, followed by three years of cellaring before it is made available for purchase.

This particular port, aptly named “Crusted Port”, will form a sediment in the bottle and should be decanted prior to serving. This sediment is a natural occurrence found in the most exquisite, full-bodied ports. It is a sign that the wine will only improve with time, allowing its aroma and character to mature and develop.

Fonseca Crusted is selected from the finest Ports from the top quality Cima Corgo area of the Douro Valley and only made in small quantities.

Tasting Note: L>uscious wild fruit and subtle hints of apricot and prune, it expands to reveal notes of leather and wood, along with delicate hints of violet. The full-bodied taste is bolstered by lively tannins. The rich and intense dark berry fruit profile of the aroma resurfaces on the palate, lingering in the long and satisfying finish. A magnificently balanced wine that boasts the exceptional fruit quality that defines the Fonseca brand.

Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal
