KWV Full Tawny Port

The effect of prolonged wood ageing has endowed this port with a deep tawny colour, coffee-toffee like fragrant character, an incomparable richness and smoothness, with a strong, nutty flavour.

An excellent accompaniment with stronger cheeses after a meal. Also with coffee and chocolates.
