Harvest & Winemaking
The 2016 harvest in Portugal’s Douro region was shaped by an unusually wet spring followed by a steady ripening season. Cooler nights during harvest preserved the grapes' vibrant acidity and aromatic potential. Gentle extraction methods ensured purity and elegance, resulting in a well-balanced and structured vintage port with lower yields and exceptional quality.
Tasting Notes
Deep purple-black in colour with a narrow rim, the Fonseca 2016 Vintage Port opens with complex aromas of black cherry, cassis, blackberry jam, and crushed mint. Hints of violets and tropical fruit add layers of depth. On the palate, this port delivers fresh berry flavours, bright acidity, and firm, textured tannins, leading to a long, refined finish. A perfect example of premium aged Portuguese port wine.
