Tawny Ports are oxidized wines matured in small wood casks. Old Colheita Ports may remain in cask for decades. During the aging process the wines loses their red color, their tannins soften and complex notes of nuts, citrus, butterscotch appear. Great Tawnies bring many successive layers of flavors along with good acidity and long finish and aftertaste.
