A blend of high-quality harvests aged an average of 6 to 7 years (hence the specification "Fine", "Finest" or "Reserve" Tawny to indicate a step up from a basic Tawny, for which Tawny Port wines with at least 3 years of age can be blended in).  
 
CEPAGES

VINIFICATION
Hand-picked, estate-grown grapes undergo pre-fermentation line-up maceration with 3-4 hours per day of foot-treading in traditional lagares for 2 days followed by 2 days of temperature-controlled fermentation, by which the grapes' natural sugar is consumed and turned into alcohol by native yeasts. When the natural sugar levels decrease by half, we stop fermentation via fortification with grape brandy. The Port wine is then aged for a minimum of 6 years in neutral, French oak, 500 liter (130 gallon) puncheons and 225 liter (60 gallon) barrels before blending with other 6 to 7-year-old Tawny ports.
