Fonseca has been at the top of the Vintage Port game since the mid-19th century, known for producing rich, opulent wines that evolve beautifully with age. From a standout vintage across the Douro, this showcases all the hallmarks that have made Fonseca a favourite among Port lovers.
Unlike wood-aged Ports, Vintage Port matures in bottle, gaining complexity over decades while preserving the character of the vineyard and the winemaker’s touch. Fonseca’s wines come from top estates in the Pinhão and Távora valleys, including Cruzeiro, Santo António, and Panascal, which have long been the backbone of their iconic blends.
What the critics say:
"The 1985 Fonseca is still youthful in appearance with hardly any ageing on the rim. The nose offers kirsch, sloes and Christmas cake. With time, there are subtle notes of dried fig and dates beginning to emerge and add to the complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced on the supple, rounded entry. It is not quite as complex as the aromatics, with dates and dried fig, the finish mellow and refined. It is very elegant for a Fonseca, weighty but supremely well focused. This is a fabulous Fonseca that is ready to drink now, but will age for another 30 or 40 years. Drink now-2030+."
