{"product_id":"fonseca-vintage-port-2017-375ml","title":"Fonseca — Vintage Port 375ml — 2017 — 375ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFonseca’s three vineyards—Quinta do Panascal, Quinta de Cruzeiro and Quinta de Santo António—all form the backbone of the famous Fonseca Vintage Portos, produced only in vintages that are “declared” as being of the highest quality. Fonseca is recognized across the Douro as a leader of viticultural practices for Porto and has spearheaded development of organic and sustainable programs across the region. The fruit for Fonseca’s Vintage Portos is trod by foot in granite lagares on the estate. Fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirits before all the residual sugar has been fermented, creating a sweet, fortified wine. The wine is aged for two years in oak before being bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-body\"\u003eA narrow magenta ring around a core of purple black. The nose opens with a burst of dark, woodland fruit, dense and succulent with fresh, vibrant red berry aromas. A slatey minerality holds this exuberant fruitiness in check. The nose reveals leafy, balsamic scents and cedary notes. The first impression on the palate is of tightly packed, dense dark berry fruit, which then explodes on the mid-palate and surges into the long finish. The texture is round and velvety but the taut, sinewy tannins and crisp acidity provide firmness and structure. The layered, complex fruit holds sway over this weighty, powerful wine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section hidden-print\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-title\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-body\"\u003ePairs well with blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort and desserts of dark chocolate or berries.
