Founded in 1815, their wines are characterised by power, charm and elegance. Their tawny or ‘wood Ports’ – so called as the wines are aged in barrels for up to 40 years – are unbeatable. For some Port producers, tawny Ports are a convenient method of using up grapes that they can’t use for finer vintage wines. Fonseca though specially selects grapes that have the character to stand up to the extended ageing period. Conscious of the precious environment in which they produce their wines, Fonseca has invested heavily in sustainable winemaking. It was the first lodge to offer a wholly organic Port and respect for the planet influences all their activities. This has been made easier by the bulk of their fruit coming from their own perfectly placed vineyards. When it comes to Tawny Port, Fonseca offers a unique and sublime drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mentzendorff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41171180388434,"sku":"MEN602NV","price":51.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/Fonseca20YearOldTawnyPort.png?v=1725545167"},{"product_id":"weingut-hees-riesling-spatlese-romerstich","title":"Weingut Hees Off-Dry Riesling Spatlese Auener Romerstich 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Riesling Spätlese from Weingut Hees seamlessly unites juicy fruit purity, refined minerality, and artisanal craft.

The main difference between the two is that their Late Bottled Vintage wines spend longer in oak casks before being bottled, hence the name, and that most don’t need to be decanted. In making their Late Bottled Vintage Port, Fonseca specially selects grapes that have the character to stand up to this extended ageing period. Conscious of the precious environment in which they produce their wines, Fonseca has invested heavily in sustainable winemaking. It was the first lodge to offer a wholly organic Port and respect for the planet influences all their activities.

The palate is wonderfully svelte and tense, with elegant sweetness carried by lively acidity, juicy stone fruit and a fine mineral, saline finish. Pure, bracing and persistent, with 66 grams of residual sugar balanced by 8.9 grams of acidity. A very long life ahead, and a drinking window from 2030 to 2060 per Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e98 Points - James Suckling (2024 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e“The clouds open and a ray of sunlight lands on you”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e96 Points - Vinous (2024 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e“The palate is wonderfully svelte and tense”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e95 Points - Wine Advocate (2024 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e“precise, fresh, intense and quite coolish on the stony and herbal nose”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRiesling 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSchloss Johannisberg is a historic Rheingau estate, with wine made on its hill above the Rhine for over 900 years, and exclusively Riesling since 1720. It is closely tied to the birth of Spätlese, which legend says was discovered in 1775 when a messenger arrived late with the order to harvest, leaving the grapes to ripen further. The estate’s abbey cellar is nearly nine centuries old, and since 2022 its vineyards have been in conversion to organic viticulture. Grünlack, the Green Seal, is its Spätlese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jascots Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63271005782403,"sku":"JAS60224","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/SchlossJohannisbergGrunlackRieslingSpatlese.png?v=1778238721"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/collections\/style-sweet-and-fortified.oembed?page=2","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
