Winery Story

Fonseca Vintage Port is considered the "Pétrus" of Port. The renowned house, which produced its first Vintage Port in 1847, is considered t... (more...)oday to be one of the classic vintage ports of the nineteenth century. Fonseca vintage ports are renowned for their great fruit richness and voluptuousness, and, while powerful and mouthfilling, for their breed and balance. In the context of each vintage, they combine the tannic dimension and "grip" which give great port its longevity with the structure and complexity that are Fonseca's hallmark.
