Preparation

Serving Instructions

1. Prepare the Decanter

Begin by selecting a clean decanter to enhance the presentation and aeration of the Fonseca Tawny Port.

2. Open the Bottle

Carefully remove the cork from the Fonseca Tawny Port bottle. Ensure that no cork pieces fall into the wine.

3. Decant the Wine

Slowly pour the Tawny Port into the decanter, allowing it to aerate. Aim to pour gently to avoid disturbing any sediment that may be present.

4. Let it Breathe

Allow the wine to sit in the decanter for about 15-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to open up and develop.

5. Serve

Pour the decanted Fonseca Tawny Port into wine glasses. Serve at a slightly cooler temperature, ideally between 55-60°F (13-16°C).

6. Enjoy

Savor the complex flavors and aromas of the Tawny Port, enjoying it with dessert or as a standalone drink.
