    As some have already noticed, a new (old) port wine house has entered the market under the name Blackett. The new member is an old name, founded in Oporto back in the 19th century by George Blackett. George Blackett was initially very successful as a port wine shipper and after a few decades became one of the 5 largest shippers in Oporto. But after a few unfortunate mergers and a difficult time during World War 2. Blackett In 2014, the trading company Alchemy Wines decided to use the name Blackett again. Alchemy Wines is part of a larger company that owns two important Quinta's in Douro Superior. Quinta de Brunheda is especially important as they hold large quantities of precious old Tawny both red and white. It is from these stocks of old Tawny that the best port wines are bottled today under the name Blackett. Basically, the style is new and exciting and the quality is high. The "mother wine" of the different types of Tawny is significantly older than the label or the legal requirement otherwise suggests. Last but not least, Blackett also uses some white grapes in the different blends, which adds freshness and acidity to the wine. The bouquet and taste suggest that the white grapes play a role, as the nose has notes of orange peel, dried fruits, green walnuts and other floral notes.

    With Blackett, a new and exciting variant of port wine has emerged, which several experts also suggest has its place among the best port wines Info about Tawny Port Wine Tawny Port Wine is, along with Ruby Port Wine, one of the 2 biggest pillars of the Port Wine Mecca. Of these two types, Tawny has aged the longest - in barrels (up to 20 years). This can be seen in the brownish color, which is due to the grape color fading over the years. The beautiful color settles in the barrels. When Tawny port gets a beautiful mahogany-chesterfield-sofa color, it is perfectly matured and ready to drink.

    Tawny's prolonged maturation/fermentation gives it a deep and more complex flavor and character - less sweet. The flavor is often described as nutty and optimally as caramelized figs and plums. Since it is oxygenated during barrel maturation, Tawny tolerates oxygen and this allows Tawny port to last for weeks - even months after opening, as it does not develop further after opening. You can get Tawny as a 10, 20, 30 and 40 year old port. The bottling year you see on the bottle is an average of the different vintages the port is made from. This port blend is filtered and sold ready to serve. An older Tawny is often used as a dessert wine, but can occasionally be served with the main course. It is recommended to serve port wine when it is between 15-20 degrees, but Tawny can be served colder than that. Tawny port wine, like many other port wines, must be approved prior to sale by the Instituto do Vinho do Porto (IVDP), which oversees all port wine. They work a bit like Whisky.dk does in Denmark. They taste the products and assess them to ensure a high quality in the delivery. Oh yes... and then there is the difference that the Portuguese institute puts paper seals on the bottles and is supported by the Ministry of Finance and Agriculture. Tawny Port can be divided into the types Colheita, Unfiltered and Vintage Tawny.
