Tawny Port Wine

Tawny port wine is a type of port that is aged in wooden barrels, causing it to take on a slightly lighter colour and a nutty, caramel flavour. Unlike other types of port, tawny port is blended from different years to achieve a consistent taste, with the age on the label referring to the average age of the wine in the blend. Tawny port is often enjoyed as a dessert wine and pairs well with nuts, cheese, and caramel desserts. The longer the wine has been aged, the more complex and smooth its flavour will be.
