Wood aging softens the tannic structure of port wine leaving it with a slight nutty character combined with hints of orange rind, raisin, and figs.

Porto Ferreira Quinta do Porto Tawny 10 Years Old has a deep tawny hue with red hints. Its aroma is characterised by an excellent balance between the quality of its original grapes and wine (noticeable in its floral and ripe fruit aromas) and its ageing through oxidation in wood (which gives it spicy and nutty aromas). In the mouth, the classic and fresh style of the Ferreira brand is conspicuous, achieving a fine balance between the different sensations in the wine body and in the long final in the mouth.

Rich and luscious mouth feel, raisins, dried fruit underscored by toffee and caramel which is supported by warm spirit extending its length.

The palate of this wine is fresh and intense, with a tropical fruit salad burst of flavour upfront as soon as you have a sip. There is a lovely balanced acidity providing length, structure and fruit weight to highlight some of the creamier notes that evolved from the yeast during fermentation. This is a great food wine.

Soft and rounded with a luscious midpalate, McWilliam’s Premium Selection Tawny shows dominant flavours of raisin and toffee with hints of fruit-cake character and a sweet, lingering finish.
