Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port: A Deliciously Delicate Aged Tawny

TheGeneralWine.co.uk is proud to offer Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port, a delightful expression of a tawny port aged for an average of 10 years in seasoned oak casks. This 50cl bottle is perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with a variety of foods.

A Step Away from the Traditional Tawny

Unlike many tawny ports known for their full-bodied richness, Warre's Otima takes a lighter approach. This wine challenges the perception of port as a heavy after-dinner drink. Its strikingly attractive, light, and delicate character makes it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Tasting Profile: A Symphony of Flavours

• Colour: Rich Tawny. The beautiful colour hints at the wine's age and the time spent maturing in oak casks.
• Nose: An excellent nose filled with aromas of toasted nuts and hints of mature fruit. Some drinkers may also detect subtle oaky notes, a testament to the cask ageing.
• Palate: Light and surprisingly delicate, the Otima 10 Year Old Tawny offers a delightful surprise. The palate is beautifully rounded with hints of dried fruits, like raisins and apricots. These flavours are complemented by a long, elegant finish that lingers pleasantly on the tongue.

Food Pairing: Beyond the Cheeseboard

Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny's versatility shines through when it comes to food pairings. While it pairs beautifully with a classic cheeseboard selection, particularly hard cheeses like cheddar or manchego, this wine can also elevate other dishes:

• Desserts: The wine's natural sweetness makes it a perfect companion for fruit-based desserts like crumbles, tarts, or crème brûlée. It also complements chocolate desserts surprisingly well.
• Canapés and Appetisers: The light and delicate character makes Otima 10 Year Old Tawny a great choice for serving with canapés and appetisers. Pair it with dishes featuring nuts, dried fruits, or creamy cheeses.
• Main Courses: Believe it or not, tawny port can also complement savoury main courses. Consider pairing it with roasted pork, duck, or creamy mushroom dishes.

Serving Suggestions

• Temperature: Unlike some ports, Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny doesn't require decanting. Serve it slightly chilled, around 10-12°C, for an optimal drinking experience. This allows the delicate flavours to come through beautifully.
• Glassware: Use a small stemmed port glass or a white wine glass to concentrate the aromas and flavours.
