Blackett Tawny 30 years Port

Blackett Tawny 30 years old is a Port with an intense auburn colour with greenish tones. The aroma is intense and complex with notes of dried apricots, caramelised nuts, salted caramel, chocolate and spices. On the palate, it is very full-bodied but elegant, with a perfect balance between acidity, sweetness and alcohol, and a velvety and very persistent finish.

Blackett, created in 2013 by Alchemy Wines, is a brand that honours the rich tradition of Port wine in the historic Douro region, the oldest Protected Designation of Origin in the world. Its wines, aged in centuries-old barrels, reflect the dedication of local winegrowers and the authenticity of the terroir. Combining human heritage and the transformative power of time, Blackett stands out for creating unique, high quality wines.

Tawny are red wines made from the same grapes as Ruby, but which are only aged for two to three years in the vats and then transferred to the barrels. These allow the wine to have more contact with the wood and the air. Tawny wines breathe more and oxidise and age quickly. Due to the high level of oxidation, Tawny wines lose the initial colour of red wines, gaining lighter shades of amber and flavours of dried fruit such as walnuts or almonds. With age, Tawny wines gain even more aromatic complexity, enriching their flavours.
