Crafted by house J.H. Andresen under the direction of Master Blender Álvaro Van Zeller, this 10 Year Old expression highlights the beauty of traditional cask maturation. By blending select wood-aged ports from various vintages, it delivers a harmonious balance of youthful fruit intensity and mature, nutty complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine stands out for its silky mouthfeel, rich aromatic depth, and classic oxidative elegance. Aged for a decade in seasoned oak casks, it transitions from the deep fruitiness of a young ruby into the supple, mellowed complexity of a true tawny. With notes of dried fruit, toasted nuts, and sweet spice, it offers a luxurious, ready-to-drink experience that requires no decanting and stays fresh for several weeks after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from high-quality vineyard sites across the Douro region, featuring classic indigenous varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. The fruit is vinified in traditional granite lagares and stainless steel tanks, with fermentation halted through the addition of neutral grape spirit to preserve natural grape sugars. The wine is then transferred to seasoned oak pipes and casks, where it matures for an average of ten years, allowing gradual oxygen contact to soften the tannins and build complex secondary flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a attractive brick-red to tawny colour with warm amber rims. The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of dried figs, raisins, and dark plum, alongside complex layers of hazelnut, orange peel, and subtle caramel. On the palate, it is smooth, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, offering a luscious sweetness harmonised by fine acidity and a long, warming finish filled with toasted nuttiness and gentle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest served slightly chilled, this 10 Year Old Tawny Port is an outstanding partner for desserts and cheeses. It pairs magnificently with pecan pie, salted caramel tart, crème brûlée, and fruit-based desserts. It is also an exceptional match for a bowl of toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a board of aged cheeses such as Manchego, Gouda, or mild blue cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55091741098327,"sku":"123104","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/andresen-10-year-old-tawny-port-50cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
