Porto Cedro Tawny

Porto Cedro Tawny

This was on special offer in the shop of the wine cooperative in Peso da Regua so we just had to try it. It had a turbid reddish brown appearance with a sweet but harshly alcoholic nose. The taste was sweet and carramelly with hints of fruit and wood.

At €5 for a litre we couldn't resist buying a couple of bottles. We drank one before leaving Portugal which made us realise how rough it was. The other one we took home where it made an excellent port for cooking with.
