NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Maynard's 30 Years Old Aged Tawny Porto boasts a deep amber hue with golden tinges.The bouquet unfolds with layers of dried fruits, notably apricots, figs, and raisins, complemented by toasted nuts and a touch of caramelized orange peel. Delicate hints of vanilla and spice are woven into the aromatic profile, showcasing the long oak aging process. The palate is luxuriously smooth and velvety. Concentrated flavors of matured fruits, almonds, and a hint of mocha intermingle seamlessly, underpinned by a bright acidity that provides balance and vibrancy. The finish is exceptionally long, with lingering notes of nutmeg and crème brûlée. Perfect as an after-dinner treat, this Porto pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, nutty desserts, or on its own, letting the intricate flavors dance on the palate. A wine of this stature is a journey through time, encapsulating decades of dedication and the rich legacy of the Douro Valley.

ORIGINS
Winery: Maynard's
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
