Corkburn’s Tawny Port 10 years (500mL)

Cockburn’s was founded in 1815 by the Scottish brothers Robert and John Cockburn. Originally wine merchants in Leith, Scotland, their Port house was founded with the objective of securing a supply of excellent wine at its source which would give them an advantage over the influx of poor quality, cheap Port which was so common in Britain at the time.

When purchased in 1962 by a multinational corporation, the quality of the wine began to wane, and although in the early 20 th century Cockburn’s Vintage Ports demanded the highest price of all Ports, one hundred years later their reputation had fallen significantly.
Following the Symington family’s acquisition of Cockburn’s in 2010, and the company’s return to family ownership, forty-eight years of corporate decision making was revised, and the company focus was shifted back to one thing: the quality of the wine.

Ten Year Old (non-vintage) Tawny Ports are ten year old style blends of wines of the highest quality that have spent an average of ten years ageing in oak casks, until they reach the perfect level of maturity. They are, then, bottled ready to be enjoyed. Cockburn’s 10 Year Old Tawny is pale and delicate with hints of walnuts and almond. Perfect served lightly chilled to enjoy with good friends.
