Butler Nephew 10 Years Old Port

Butler Nephew's 10 Years Old Port is a fine example of the artistry and tradition of Portuguese winemaking, particularly in the production of aged Tawny Ports. This port is a blend of high-quality wines from the Douro Valley, a region renowned for its steep terraced vineyards and a climate that is ideal for cultivating the varieties of grapes used in port production. The blend includes traditional Portuguese grape varieties, each contributing to the port's complex profile. Aged for a decade in oak barrels, this process is crucial in developing the port's characteristic flavors and smooth texture. The aging in wood not only mellows the wine but also imparts a beautiful amber hue and a complexity of flavors that can only be achieved through time. The 10-year aging indicates that it is an average age – a blend of older and younger wines to achieve a consistent character that is representative of the Butler Nephew house style.
