Tawny Monk

Red in color with some golden reflections. The aroma is marked by ripe fruit, figs, dried fruit, and some caramelized and spice notes. Rich in flavor, velvety and full-bodied, it is very elegant and with a good balance between structure and sweetness.

Winemaking:
After receiving the grapes and undergoing quality control, they are destemmed and crushed. The crushed grapes are then placed in fermentation vats, remaining in maceration for a few days at a controlled temperature to extract the best constituents from the skins. At the ideal moment, fermentation is stopped with the addition of grape brandy, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. The wines then undergo an aging period and, after the first clean passes, are stored in oak vats where they remain for at least two years. Subsequently, the winemaking team selects the wines that will form the final blend in order to maintain the classic style of Monge Tawny Port.
