Vista Alegre Fine Tawny Port, produced by Vallegre Vinhos do Porto S.A. in Portugal’s Douro Valley, is crafted from a traditional blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão grapes. Aged for 4 to 5 years in oak barrels, it exhibits an amber to tawny color with reddish tones. The bouquet offers rich aromas of dried fruits such as figs and prunes, toasted nuts, caramel, delicate spices, and subtle vanilla and wood notes from barrel aging. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and rounded, revealing nutty flavors like hazelnuts and walnuts, alongside toffee, honey, caramel, and hints of dried red fruits, all enhanced by gentle oxidative nuances. The finish is soft and refined, with lingering dried fruit and spice balanced by well-integrated sweetness and acidity. Best served lightly chilled between 12 and 14°C, it pairs wonderfully with nut-based desserts, crème brûlée, aged cheeses, and salted nuts, making it an excellent introduction to aged Tawny Ports without venturing
