WINEMAKING AND AGEING
The port wines used for the final blend of Monge Tawny 10 Years port
are made in the traditional way. Once the grapes have been received and
checked for quality they are destemmed and crushed. The crushed
grapes are then placed in fermentation tanks where they stay under
maceration for a few days at controlled temperature to extract as much
of the best components of the skins as possible. Fermentation is stopped
at just the right time by adding wine spirit, thus resulting in a naturally
sweet wine.
The wines with better potential for aging in wood are then chosen and
placed in fairly old oak casks after the first winter. They remain in wood
for several years to gain harmony and improve their bouquet.
Afterwards, the winemaking team choose the wines that will be used in
the final blend, using wines aged for more than 10 years.
TASTING
Light amber in colour, denoting the careful aging in wood, this 10-yearold tawny port has delicious aromas of nuts, hints of caramel and spices,
and also some notes of ripe fruit. The flavour is rich and velvety, smooth
and delectably sweet.
STORAGE
The bottles should be stored upright, because they have been closed
with Bar Top stoppers, in a dry, cool place, avoiding excessive direct
sunlight. This wine does not need aging in the bottle so it is ready to
drink right after bottling.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
This rich and velvety Monge 10 Years port goes very well with desserts.
Try it with tarts like almond tart, with rice pudding or a delicious crème
brulée.
