Description
1955 Fonseca Vintage Port at Arden Fine Wines.
Fonseca Vintage Ports are noted for their luscious fruitiness which develops great opulence and complexity with age.
A constant thread that runs through the history of Fonseca is the family owners’ close involvement with the making of the firm’s Vintage Ports.
Throughout the 20th century, the making of Fonseca Vintage Ports was overseen by only four family members: Frank, Dorothy, Bruce and David Guimaraens.
The firm’s Vintage Ports are drawn from its own quintas or estates: Cruzeiro and Santo António in the Pinhão Valley, which have contributed to the firm’s Vintage Port blend for 100 years, as well the Távora Valley property of Panascal.
Although they can be enjoyed when young, Fonseca Vintage Ports will continue to improve in bottle for many decades.
They have the stamina and aromatic potential to last for over a hundred years.
Declared by 26 shippers, 1955 was the largest declaration since 1927, and is one of the most underrated Vintages of the 20th Century.
A real pleasure to drink now, the best will last well into the 21st Century if well-cellared.
1955 Fonseca Vintage Port is an ideal 70th birthday or anniversary gift.
