Tawny describes a style of US fortified wine that is aged prior to bottling. At bottling the wine has a red-gold or ‘tawny’ hue. The wines should reflect the characteristics of careful aging showing ‘developed’ rather than ‘fresh’ fruit characters. However, many show the fresh well developed ‘fruit’ characteristics of younger wine. The wine is usually blended from more than one vintage, may be aged in oak containers and reaches an optimal age before sale. Fortification must be from grape spirit. |
