TASTING NOTES
An appealing golden colour, with a topaz rim. A powerful nose, with aromas of dried fruit, notes of
wood and delicious hints of chocolate. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety. A wine of great
intensity, with powerful tannins and sumptuous elegance. A long and engaging finish.

VINIFICATION
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine
through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by
constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature
(between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy
is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made by blending wines of different
harvests to achieve the array of sensory qualities that are typical of these aged tawny Port wines. These
wines have each matured in oak casks for varied periods of time, with the average age of all the wines
in the blend defining the age on the label. The resulting blend expresses the characteristics given by the
ageing in wood.

THE WINE
Cálem 10 Year Old Tawny is a wine that reflects the art of the blending: a meticulous combination of
wines aged in oak barrels, with a final average age of 10 years.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Its velvety texture and unique aromas go remarkably well with main dishes that include dried fruit.
Irresistible with a starter of foie-gras with aubergine and walnuts. A great choice for an endless array of
desserts, such as toffee brownies, chocolate and pistachio pavé, or crostini of walnuts with Chèvre.
