WINEMAKER'S NOTES: Port has become something of a passion for us at Fox Run, with nearly twenty vintages produced so far. This Tawny is a multi-vintage, multi-variety blend composed of wines that were nurtured in a small corner of the winery for many years before bottling.
Select lots of fully ripe grapes are fermented for just a few days before being pressed off their skins and fortified with grape spirit to lock in the natural grape sugar. Aging in neutral barrels commences soon after, in a custom-built room that is warmed year-round to about human body temperature. This process initiates a slow aging process that transforms the simple fruit flavors of the wine into something altogether more luscious and complex. After a minimum of three years, and often much longer, select barrels are blended together, producing small quantities of a unique and captivating sweet fortified wine.
TASTING
NOTES: The current-release Tawny
Port blend is a rich mélange of date, fig, dried apricot, dark chocolate,
cinnamon, nutmeg and toffee. As the
flavors evolve in the mouth, notes of oolong tea, roasted almond and marmalade
appear. Don't miss this limited
release.

Perfect way to celebrate friendships!
From K Morandi of Stamford, Vermont on .
We purchased his wine to enjoy with friends we are very close to. Perfect combination. The wine was rich, sweet, and colorful - just like our friends. We all very much enjoyed the bottle in front of the fireplace while talking about our time in the Finger Lakes last spring. High recommend the Tawny Port. It was a wise purchase.
Tawny Port
From RALPH "Bud" MARX of HOUSTON, Texas on .
I'm an avid fan of Tawny ports, though they are usually an aged, 20 or 30 year old. I was pleasantly surprised by this "young" Tawny. The flavor is excellent and the lack of age does not inhibit its structure. I would certainly serve this to friends without hesitation.
