Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage 2012

*Product photo shows an earlier vintage than the one available*

Intense and ripe, but with a surprising freshness - vibrant notes of bramble, raspberry and cassis with a hint of violet florality give way to an undercurrent of burnt sugar, dark chocolate and a subtle balsamic edge - A dream pairing for blue stilton and walnuts.

In the production of Port, only years that produce exceptional fruit are declared as vintage years. In non-vintage years, Fonseca produces the Guimaraens Vintage using grapes from three of their very finest quintas in the Cima Corgo, Douro Valley.

This Port a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cao and Tinta Amarela which are vinified and fortified seperately, then blended to emphasise the best qualities of the vintage. This blend was bottled and aged in the Fonseca Lodges at Vila Nova de Gaia for over a decade before release.

Official Tasting Notes
Very deep purple black with violet highlights. As would be expected of a Guimaraens Vintage Port, the first impression on the nose is of a powerful detonation of blackberry, cassis, strawberry and woodland fruit. These exuberant berry aromas are seasoned with notes of coffee, treacle and spice and surrounded by a fragrant balsamic aura of gumcistus and mint. The intense fruit flows through the palate like a thick blackcurrant coulis. The palate is supported by a taut fabric of closely woven tannins and the long finish resounds with a final blast of sumptuous ripe berry flavour.
