Tawny Port Ingredients
Method
Tawny Port Production Directions
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Select and hand-harvest 100 kg of ripe Port grapes, ensuring they are free from any rot or damage.
- 2
Crushing and Fermentation
Crush the grapes in a clean vessel. Add 0.5 kg of yeast to initiate fermentation. Allow the mixture to ferment for approximately 5 to 7 days at controlled temperatures.
- 3
Fortification
Once fermentation is complete, add 20 L of brandy to the fermented grape must to halt fermentation and increase the alcohol content.
- 4
Aging Process
Transfer the fortified wine into 5 oak barrels for aging. Store in a cool, dark place, allowing it to mature for at least 10 years, during which it will develop complex flavors.
- 5
Sulfite Addition
After 10 years of aging, add 5 g of sulfites to stabilize the wine before bottling.
- 6
Bottling
Carefully bottle the Tawny Port, ensuring minimal exposure to oxygen, and seal with corks for preservation.
