Fonseca Vintage Port 2024 - Magnum En Primeur (Case of 3)



£402.00

ALC 20.5%


This wine is still to be bottled and as such the advertised ABV may be subject to change on its eventual arrival and inspection into the U.K.

Rich, deep purple colour with a fine purple rim. The nose displays very fine and pure black fruit, a fusion of black cherry, cassis and blackcurrant aromas. An ethereal fragrance of violets, hints of tropical fruits and crushed mint fill the glass. Outstanding refinement and purity of fruit showcase the year with complexity of fruit and an attractive minerality. The palate is rich and luscious with taut tannins, texture and polish that coat the palate with hints of exotic wood, wild herbs and Hemingway mint. Succulent, concentrated woodland fruit, pairs wonder- fully with the racing acidity and refreshing bright finish.

Fonseca Guimaraens

Manoel Guimarãens purchased the old trading firm of Fonseca, Monteiro & Co in 1822, but Mr Fonseca would only sell if the company kept his name. Six generations of the family have respected this condition.

Until 1927 the company was based in London following Manoel’s politically motivated flight from Portugal hidden in a pipe of Port! In the post war slump Fonseca merged with Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman but has remained independently run by the Guimarãens and today under David Guimarãens is in the very top flight of Port houses. Pioneering work on organic management of the vineyard’s started in 1992 at Quinta do Panascal.

About En Primeur
