Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm rose-copper with pink-amber highlights from Tawny port cask maturation
Nose
Tawny port richness — dried fruit, walnut, caramel, orange peel, brown sugar. The fortified wine cask adds distinctive nutty, oxidative character different from the red wine expressions. Honey, vanilla, gentle oak
Palate
Medium-full body. Tawny port influence — dried fruit, walnut, caramel, orange peel, brown sugar. Nutty and sweet, different from the red fruit-driven Nova/Fortis. Honey, vanilla, gentle tannins. Small octave casks amplify the port character
Finish
Medium-long finish. Tawny port warmth, dried fruit, walnut, caramel. Nutty and sweet at close. Limited release showcasing port cask as an alternative to the dominant red wine maturation
