Cálem Velhotes 10 Anos Tawny Port

Cálem Velhotes is one of the most iconic labels in the world of Port wine, specifically within the Cálem portfolio. Originally founded in 1859 by António Alves Cálem, the brand has become synonymous with the Douro region of Portugal. The 'Velhotes' line, which translates to 'Old Men' or 'Old Fellows', is a flagship range for the brand, emphasizing maturity and traditional craftsmanship.

While the brand has deep Portuguese roots, it is currently owned by Sogevinus Fine Wines, a major player in the wine industry that manages several historical Port houses. The production of the 10 Anos Tawny occurs entirely in the Douro Valley and Vila Nova de Gaia, following the strict regulations of the Appellation of Controlled Origin for Port wine. This specific product is a blend of aged wines that has matured for an average of ten years in oak barrels, resulting in its characteristic tawny color and complex nutty flavor profile.
