Vieira de Sousa 50 Year Old Tawny Port

Vieira de Sousa 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a Portuguese aged Tawny Port from the Douro, blended from wines that have spent at least 50 years in oak. It is one of the rarest styles of Port, a bottle for a milestone birthday, a wedding or a moment you want to remember.

Tasting notes

Deep tawny colour with a golden, greenish rim, the sign of great age. The nose is old style yet lively and delicate. On the palate, concentrated coffee and liqueur notes lead to a very long finish with a crisp, clean close.

Food pairing

Serve it with toasted almonds and walnuts, a crème brûlée or pastéis de nata, a fine cigar, or simply on its own, slowly, after dinner.
