WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Offley 10 Years Old Tawny Porto involves the manual harvesting of grapes from the Douro region. The grapes are then gently crushed and fermented with controlled temperatures. Fermentation is stopped through fortification with grape spirit. The defining characteristic of this wine is its aging process, where it matures for a minimum of 10 years in oak vats, allowing for oxidation and the development of its distinctive tawny profile.
