Vista Alegre Fine Tawny Port

Vista Alegre Fine Tawny Port is a tawny port produced by Vallegre Vinhos do Porto S.A. in Portugal’s Douro Valley. It is 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. Serve it lightly chilled, between 12 and 14°C. It is amber to tawny in colour 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 ageing. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth and rounded, with nutty flavours like hazelnuts and walnuts, alongside toffee, honey, caramel and hints of dried red fruits, all lifted by gentle oxidative notes. The finish is soft and refined, with lingering dried fruit and spice balanced by well-integrated sweetness and acidity. It pairs well with nut-based desserts, crème brûlée, aged cheeses and salted nuts, and is a good introduction to aged tawny ports.
