Manoella 20 Year Tawny Port

Other Red Grape or Blend

Manoella 20 Year Tawny Port is produced from a field blend of over 30 different indigenous grape varieties. All of the wines crafted by Sandra and Jorge Serôdio Borges are known for being very distinctive, elegant, and pure.

Wine Production

Hand-picked grapes are foot-trodden and fermented with spontaneous yeast in stone lagares. Following fermentation, the wine is matured and aged in seasoned  630L Portuguese chestnut casks for 20 years at the Quinta da Manoella Lodge.

Tasting Notes

Bright amber in color, this Port shows complex and refined notes of hazelnuts, nuts, dried figs and nougat. Very expressive and elegant on the palate, full of flavor while also fresh and sophisticated with a very long finish.

Food Pairing

Delicious with almond pie, cheeses, and creme brulé
