Fonseca Vintage Port 2024

A compelling release from one of the Douro Valley’s most revered producers, known for crafting richly fruited and opulent wines with exceptional ageing potential. Sourced from the estate’s flagship vineyards in the Pinhao and Tavora valleys, this vintage reflects both the house’s signature depth and the balance achieved in a finely judged growing season.

This is a wine built for the long term, combining concentration with precision. While impressive in its youth, it will reward extended cellaring, gradually revealing the layered complexity that defines great Vintage Port.

• Deep, purple core with a vivid violet rim, indicating both concentration and youth. Pure and focused, showing intense black fruit - black cherry, cassis and blackberry. Lifted by floral violet notes. Subtle hints of mint, exotic fruit and mineral freshness add definition and elegance.
• Full-bodied and structured, with dense layers of dark fruit supported by firm, finely integrated tannins. Notes of wild herbs, spice and a touch of exotic wood bring added complexity, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine poised and balanced.
• Long and precise, with persistent fruit intensity and a fresh, lifted character that underscores its ageing potential.

Ideal with strong cheeses or simply enjoyed as a contemplative after-dinner wine.
