- Fonseca vintage ports are renowned for their great fruit richness and voluptuousness, and, while powerful and mouthfilling, for their breed and balance. In the context of each vintage, they combine the tannic dimension and grip which give great port its longevity with the structure and complexity that are Fonsecas hallmark.
