SmoothTawny Port
Pitters Tawny Port ages in small wooden casks, generally holding about 630 litres.
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. The wines are then blended together a few months before bottling for balance and harmony.

Wine specsTasting Notes
Deep brick-red with the garnet highlights that denote time spent in oak cask. Generous, subtly spicy nose, in which dried fruit and jammy red berry aromas blend with discreet oaky notes and hints of coffee and liquorice.
Rich, full and mellow on the palate, with a silky texture, this is a fully-flavoured Port whose luscious flavours of jammy fruit linger into the long finish. An excellent match for a blue cheese, a chocolate based dessert or an apple pie.
