Descrição

Tawny wines are reds, made from the same grapes as Ruby wines, but they age only two to three years in casks before moving to bottles. This allows more contact between the wine, the wood, and the air, so tawny wines breathe more, oxidise, and age quickly. Due to the high oxidation, tawny wines lose the original red colour, adopting lighter tones such as amber, and flavours of dried fruit like walnuts or almonds. With age, tawny wines gain even more aromatic complexity, enriching their aromas. The bottling year may not match the image shown (illustrative only).
