Cima Corgo

Cima Corgo is the central subregion of Portugal's Douro Valley, situated between Baixo Corgo to the west and Douro Superior to the east, characterized by steep schist slopes and a drier climate with hot summers and cold winters. This prestigious terroir is primarily planted with indigenous varieties like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Cão, which contribute to the production of the region's finest vintage Ports as well as increasingly acclaimed dry red wines.

Quinta de la Rosa Tawny Port

Quinta de la Rosa

Red

Quinta de la Rosa produces this classic Tawny Port from their estate vineyards in Portugal's stunning Douro Valley – where vines cling to impossibly steep terraces and winemakers still crush grapes by foot (though probably not as often as the romantic in you might hope). This Port undergoes the traditional fortification process before aging in small oak barrels, where it slowly develops those gorgeous nutty, caramel flavors while the color gently fades to its characteristic tawny hue. Unlike Vintage Port that needs decades to show its best, Tawny Port is ready to drink when bottled – no decanting required, no teeth staining guaranteed. It's the perfect low-maintenance nightcap that somehow manages to be both sophisticated and comforting at the same time. Keep a bottle in the fridge after opening (yes, really) and it'll last for weeks, making it the perfect companion for those nights when you want 'just a little something sweet' without committing to a whole bottle of dessert wine.
