Barros Year old porto tawny 2020
This Port comes from Portugal, built around Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and Touriga Nacional from the 2020 vintage. About the grape — Tinta Roriz is the Portuguese name for Tempranillo, contributing firm structure and dark-fruit depth to Douro reds and Port. Port, in case you're wondering, is a fortified sweet wine from Portugal's Douro Valley — a splash of grape spirit stops the fermentation early, keeping it rich, sweet and warming. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. It's gorgeous with dark chocolate, blue cheese or a handful of nuts — or simply on its own to round off a meal. Serve it lightly chilled, in small glasses.
