As it matures in cask, Tawny Port gradually loses the deep red 'ruby' colour of youth and takes on the seductive amber hue known as 'tawny'. At the same time the wine becomes progressively smoother and mellower, its aromas gaining in richness and complexity.
Pitters 10 Year Old Tawny Port is a blend of Port wines with an average of ten years of age.

Wine specsTasting Notes
Deep brick-red colour with narrow amber rim. Ripe, complex nose displaying rich jammy fruit aromas, spicy notes, a subtle nuttiness and mellow hints of butterscotch and dried fruit.
The palate is beautifully silky and round, crammed with, mature fruit flavour which continues into the long, smooth finish. An elegant aged tawny port fully ready to be enjoyed after ten years of ageing in seasoned oak casks. A delicious dessert wine or the perfect finish to any meal.
