Description
Quinta do Infantado 10-Year-Old Tawny Port NV is a distinguished gem hailing from the Douro Valley of Portugal, celebrated for its heritage and quality. This exquisite 10-Year-Old Tawny Port is the product of handpicked grapes sourced from elite class 'A' vineyards, ensuring an exceptional tasting experience.
Each bottle encapsulates a meticulous blending of Tinta Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca, fermented in traditional lagares. The aging process occurs in old wooden casks, yielding a complex and well-rounded flavour profile. This Port is recognized for its slightly drier style compared to its contemporaries, making it a harmonious choice for various culinary pairings.
- Tasting Notes: Discover a delightful array of dried fruits, caramel, and a hint of spice, balanced perfectly with a velvety smoothness. The finish is characterized by lingering notes of walnuts and toffee, inviting you to savor every moment.
- Nose: An enticing bouquet unfolds with rich aromas of caramelized raisins, marmalade, and whispers of subtle spices and herbs.
- Palate: Indulge in a medley of figs, golden raisins, and warm coffee notes, elevated by a balancing acidity that carries into a memorable finish.
For an optimal serving experience, we recommend:
- Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C in small tulip-shaped glasses to enhance its aromatic complexity.
- Pair with decadent desserts such as pecan pie or caramel cheesecake for a delightful contradiction to the richness.
- Contrast the sweet profile with savory cheeses like smoked cheddar or aged Manchego for a sophisticated palate experience.
- For a unique twist, drizzle over warm crème brûlée or cinnamon-spiced apple pie to elevate the dessert's richness.
- Ideal for intimate gatherings or after-dinner relaxation, enjoy alongside dark chocolate infused with dried fruits for an indulgent retreat.
- Consider using it in cocktails, such as a Port Old Fashioned, for an elegant twist on traditional flavors.
Experience the essence of Douro Valley with Quinta do Infantado 10-Year-Old Tawny Port NV—a port that not only enchants the senses but also enriches every occasion.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Port maintain a consistent temperature between 12°C and 20°C (54°F to 68°F) ideally around 13–15°C (55–60°F) avoiding fluctuations that can damage the wine and compromise the cork seal. Keep the bottles in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent spoilage and quality loss.
Humidity should be maintained around 70-75% to keep corks moist and prevent them from shrinking and losing their seal; excessively dry conditions can dry out corks.
Bottle position:
- Store unopened bottles lying on their side to keep the cork moist (especially important for longer aging).
- Once opened keep the bottle upright and tightly sealed to reduce oxidation; Tawny Port is stable and can last 4–6 weeks if properly sealed.
Light exposure should be minimized by storing in opaque or dark environments preventing UV damage that can alter flavors.
Avoid vibrations and temperature swings; a vibration-free cupboard or dedicated wine fridge is ideal.
No refrigeration is required after opening but cooler temperatures help preserve the Port’s quality longer once opened.
