20 Year Old Tawny
The grapes are harvested by hand in the fall and fermented for a short period of time before the addition of 100% neutral grape spirit alcohol. This step stops fermentation, preserves the wine’s natural grape sugars, and gives it unique rich flavors. Aged Tawnies spend many years aging in oak casks – “20 Year” indicates an average age where older lots lend complexity and depth, and younger wines offer vibrant fresh fruit flavors. The extra aging lends an intense finish – 20 Year is considered by many to be the perfect blend of complexity and fruit.
Food Pairing
Vanilla ice cream or créme brulé and strong cheeses.
Tasting Notes
Light amber and tawny color, showing mature raisiny fruit aromas with hints of honey and caramel. Dow’s Twenty Years Old Tawny has a rich and nutty palate, with wonderful balance. A clean crisp finish and a soft lingering aftertaste make this an unforgettable Port on any occasion.
