Description: This is our second port-styled wine. It is made from Marechal Foch grapes and was made in the traditional manner of ports. We fortified a very young wine. We have wonderful tawny port characteristics in this wine, Fig, Prune, Chocolate. Once opened the bottle can be consumed slowly over the next 3-4 weeks without any noticable deterioration in the wine.
