Produced from the same three Fonseca quintas in the Cima Corgo – Quinta de Santo Antonio, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta do Panascal. All three properties are A-rated which is the highest quality accolade for vineyards in the Douro. Produced with a blend of six different grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Câo and Tinta Amarela and aged in the Fonseca lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia.
A match for many a fully declared vintage with great richness, opulent fruit and fine structure. Powerful nose showing blackberry, cassis and coffee, then lots of spicy fruit and a long finish. This will age magnificently.
  Vintage Guide; 1998; Bottled 2000 Care Details; Store away from Heat and light sources Grapes Guide; Blend of classic Port grapes including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz Closure; Cork Decant; If you have a decanter, use it for Guimaraens. If you do not, try ‘double decanting', which achieves the same effect: pour the port in to a suitable neutral receptacle, such as a jug. Take especial care towards the end of the bottle- use natural light or a candle to see when the sediment starts to be poured. Without undue wastage, stop pouring at this point. Rinse then drain the original bottle, then pour the decanted port back in to serve. The process also opens up the full depth of tastes and aromas to be enjoyed.
