Porto Offley Tawny

Offley Tawny is an elegant red Port, a classic-style tawny with maturity and freshness, created for the many connoisseurs of this style by Offley, the prestigious brand that combines contemporaneity with almost three centuries of experience. Offley Tawny Port is produced using the traditional Port wine method. The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by fermentation with maceration of the skins to extract the best constituents. The addition of grape spirit establishes the balance between the wine's body and aroma, and the ideal moment is established by the winemaking team after rigorous control of fermentation temperatures and densities, which vary according to the grape variety, degree of ripeness and the final sweetness desired. The wines remain in the Douro until they are transported to V.N.Gaia the following spring, where they enter Offley's century-old cellars for ageing in oak casks according to the traditional Port wine system. Over the years, the wines are carefully racked, tasted and analyzed, and any corrections deemed necessary are made by the winemaking team. The final blend is then made in such a way as to maintain the consistency and style of Offley Tawny Port, then filtered and cold stabilized before being bottled.
