Product information "Cálem 10 Year old Tawny Porto"
The grapes for Tawny Ports all grow in the Douro Valley and are preferred Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and many others. The wines for the Calem 10 Years Old Tawny matured on average for at least 10 years in large wooden barrels and were then blended. With its beautiful topaz colour it was bottled ready to drink. It has a warm scent of dried fruit and chocolate. In the mouth it feels velvety, intense and dense with a long fruity aftertaste. A dream and not only for the bedside table, but also as a digestif or with spicy cheese. The Distillery Calem was founded in 1859 and is a pure family business and well known for its port wines. Port wine is traditionally cultivated in the Douro region and is considered the oldest legally delimited wine-growing area in the world. It was already cultivated in 1143 during the Roman occupation.

The grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed before fermentation in Lagares at a controlled temperature of between 28 and 30°C until the right degree of sweetness is reached. At this point, brandy was added to complete the fermentation process.
