Fonseca Guimaraens is one of the best houses in Porto. The Vintage Ports are known for their fine fruit, high elegance and, in some years, an almost Mosel wine-like slate aroma. At a young age, sweet ripe fruit is in the foreground here. Especially blackcurrant and plum. But everything runs on an extremely silky, elegant level, with a great deal of finesse. 2016 is a splendid specimen with 97/100 Parker points!

The House of Fonseca was founded in 1815 by João dos Santos Fonseca. In 1820, he joined forces with Francisco José Gomes Monteiro, the scion of an important Portuguese merchant family, in order to be able to invest more capital in export markets, which was very successful from the outset.
