Marthas 10 years old Giftbox with glass Tawny Port Wine 50 cl 19.5%

A 10 Year Old Tawny deserves the right glass, not just any tumbler from the cupboard. Martha's 10 Year Old Gift Set with Glass delivers both together: a 50 cl bottle of the house's age-declared Tawny and a glass shaped to concentrate exactly the nutty notes the Port is known for.

Expert's Description

Martha's 10 Year Old Gift Set with Glass is a Portuguese age-declared Tawny Port from the Douro Valley in a 50 cl bottle with a matching glass, matured in oak casks for an average of 10 years and bottled at 19.5%.

The wine itself is identical to the house's 75 cl edition of the 10 Year Old Tawny, just in a smaller bottle size suited to the gift format. The "10 Year Old" designation is an average of the casks in the blend, approved by the Portuguese regulator IVDP.

Martha's Wine & Spirits traces back to 1727 in Baixo Corgo, where the family has grown grapes for six generations and developed exactly the age-declared Tawny series the house is best known for.

The glass included has the classic tulip shape used for Port, a narrow opening that gathers the aromas and a wider bowl that gives room to swirl the wine.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Creamy caramel and dried figs, with deep nutty tones.

Did You Know?

The narrow shape of a Port glass is not just tradition. The tight opening holds on to the volatile aromatic compounds in a Tawny, while the wider bowl gives enough room to aerate the wine slightly when swirled, together making the nutty notes stand out more clearly than in an ordinary wine glass.
