Alta No.10 is an elegant, luscious, complex Tawny Port made in traditional granite lagars and aged in old casks.
This is the first Ten-Year-Old produced on the estate and is a fitting tribute to the positive impact João has had on the estate since he started in 2009.
As with all ports, blending is the key, and Pedra Alta uses a variety of aged parcels with different levels of sweetness and acidity, including a small proportion of some really old barrels (at least 40 years old). The aim is to deliver an elegant, complex Ten-Year-Old Tawny style where the sweetness takes a back seat, and the Pedra Alta acidity provides the focus.
Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif and as a perfect accompaniment to chocolate desserts or strong cheese.
Perfect to drink now, but will gain further complexity over the next 20+ years.
