Dalva Tawny
TAWNY
This is the name given to blended fortified wines, made from red grapes that are aged in wooden pipes, exposing them to the "angels share” a gradual process of evaporation and oxidation.
The Tawny has an aging period between three to five years.
As a result, they gradually mellow to an amber, nutty color, always blended according to the House style.
Tawny ports are typically drunk as a single glass after a meal or as a dessert wine paired with a chocolate cake or an almond tart.
Taste: A lovely light reddish colour. Aromas of fresh and dried fruits with hints of vanilla. Very balanced on the palate with an agreable after taste of cherries.
Cellaring: Store upright in a cool dark place. It does not develop significantly in the bottle. May be kept three or four years without losing its fresh- ness.
Serving: Serve slightly chilled, between 12 and 13C, in an appropriate glass, ideally consumed on its own or served with caramel, vanilla or cream desserts.
