* WARRE’S OTIMA 10 YEAR OLD TAWNY PORT: An aged 10 year old Tawny Port with a light delicate palate, challenging the perception of Port as a dark and full-bodied after dinner drink. Warre’s OTIMA has a ground-breaking contemporary design with a broad consumer appeal, whose radically different packaging was produced to appeal to younger drinkers.
* Tasting Notes: Rich tawny colour, with an excellent nose of nuts and hints of mature fruit. On the palate light and delicate, beautifully rounded, with hints of dried fruits, and a long elegant finish.
* Grape Varieties: The grapes used in the production of Warre’s OTIMA 10 Year Old are a blend of traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão.
* Vinification: Warre’s OTIMA 10 Year Old undergoes fermentation with natural yeast at between 24 to 28oC. Once the must has fermented to the desired degree of sweetness (usually within 48 hours), fortification takes place with grape brandy at 77% v/v (generally 80% must / 20% brandy).
* Wine Specifications: Alcohol: 20% vol (20oC) Total acidity: 3.8 g/l tartaric acid Baumé: 3.5
* Food pairing suggestion and serving: Does not need decanting. The wine is ready to drink when bottled, but will maintain its quality in bottle. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature. Superb with cheese, nuts or dried fruit after a meal or on its own.
