Rated as Outstanding by Wine Spectator and awarded Gold at the International Wine Challenge, Maynard’s 40-Year-Old Tawny Port represents the pinnacle of aged Tawny craftsmanship. Now available once again in the UK through Vintage Wine & Port, this extraordinary bottling honours Walter Maynard—the first established English Port shipper in Oporto—and reflects decades of slow maturation in seasoned oak casks. Each bottle is presented in its own elegant gift box, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and special occasions.

This long-aged Tawny is defined by its deeply expressive nose, where layers of complex nuttiness are beautifully integrated with spicy, woody aromatics. Notes of warm roasted coffee, cinnamon, and dried citrus peel unfold gracefully, a direct result of the prolonged contact with oak over four decades. The wine’s amber hue hints at its maturity, while its aromatic richness evokes warmth, refinement, and timeless Douro tradition.

On the palate, Maynard’s 40-Year-Old Tawny delivers an intense yet beautifully balanced experience. Flavours of toasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate, and aged fig come together in a silky, concentrated core. The texture is mellow and luxurious, giving way to a long, spicy finish with hints of orange zest and polished oak. This is a Port to savour slowly—ideally enjoyed slightly chilled after dinner, perhaps with fine cheeses, chocolate desserts, or simply on its own.
