Cockburn’s Fine Tawny Port NV comes from the sun-drenched Douro Valley in Portugal, where Cockburn’s has been crafting port since 1815. This Fine Tawny is aged for two to three years in seasoned oak casks, a process that softens the wine, bringing out its mellow character and warm amber tones.

In the glass it shows a glowing reddish-tawny colour with flashes of gold, a visual hint of the nutty depth that follows. The nose reveals bright red fruit layered with dried figs, subtle caramel and a touch of honey, all wrapped in gentle oak spice. On the palate it is smooth and supple, with flavours of raisins, candied peel and creamy butterscotch balanced by toasted almond and vanilla. The texture is refined, carrying richness without heaviness, leading into a long and warming finish that lingers with dried fruit and spice.

Cockburn’s Fine Tawny Port NV is approachable yet elegant, ready to enjoy from the moment the bottle is opened. Served slightly chilled, it works beautifully as an aperitif, but it truly shines at the end of a meal. Pair it with creamy desserts like cheesecake or crème brûlée, or let it echo the richness of nut tarts, dried fruit or dark chocolate. It is the kind of port that elevates casual evenings as much as celebratory gatherings, offering an accessible taste of oak-aged tradition.
