s ’ y a olid H 2 0 1 5 T O P P I C K S The Perfect Gift Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny www.taylor.pt/en Port is a masterpiece, and Tawny port is my absolute favourite. Called Tawny because of its colour, Port is made with many indigenous grapes from the beautiful Douro Valley in Portugal. The grapes grow on very steep hills and are handpicked. It is fortified and blended with wine that is at minimum 10 years old and aged in oak casks. After years of age, the wine finally reaches a mature tawny colour. The final taste is smooth with mellow and complex flavours. It pairs well with blue cheese and is a perfect after dinner delight. A bottle from Taylor Fladgate, one of the most respected producers of Port, is the absolute perfect gift. It will leave a lasting impression on your next evening with family and friends.
