A lightly chilled Tawny in a sleek bottle - Otima 10 Years is made for warm afternoons where a heavy, traditional Port bottle would feel out of place. Ten years in cask give it all the character it needs.
Expert's Description
Warre's Otima 10 Years is a Portuguese age-declared Tawny Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 20%.
Fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit, after which the Port matures in smaller oak casks for an average of ten years. This gives a lighter, more delicate style than the older 20-year version, with a focus on fresh fruit rather than heavy spice.
Warre's is the oldest British Port house in Portugal, founded in 1670, and has been owned by the Symington family since 1908. The Otima range was developed as a modern take on Tawny, designed to be kept in the fridge and served chilled - an approach that sets it apart from traditional Port served at room temperature.
