Taylor's 20 Years Old Tawny DOC
Color: dark, lustrous amber with brick-red highlights. Aroma: sweet, aromatic, and distinctly nutty with a delicate baked apple aroma (cinnamon, honey, roasted almonds). Taste: juicy and delicate, somewhat lighter than the Tawny 10, but even more harmonious, very elegant, finely aromatic, and long-lasting. The grapes for the 20-year-old Tawny are hand-harvested, mostly destemmed, and macerated in shallow stainless steel tanks. Instead of foot-tapping as in the past, state-of-the-art equipment is now used to regularly submerge the cap of skins and grape skins, extracting maximum color, aroma, and flavor. This meticulous processing has allowed Taylor's to maintain and even improve its quality standards compared to the traditional method. The must is then fermented, and after approximately half the sugar has been converted into alcohol, the free juice is drawn off and wine distillate is added. This stops the fermentation, increases the alcohol content, and preserves a natural residual sweetness. Over the winter, the wines mature in large casks in the upper Douro Valley before being transported to the port city of Vila Nova de Gaia, where they age for an average of 20 years in very old 630-liter wooden casks.
