Like a LBV, Tawny Port is ready to drink now, and after ageing in casks instead of tanks or barrels the style is lighter (in body and colour) than their Ruby counterparts.

Ideal as an aperitif or after meals, Messias Tawny is smooth, with aromas of red fruit jam combined with delicate wood and vanilla hints.

Caves Messias

Caves Messias is a historic family owned producer renowned for their colheita and vintage ports. Founded in 1926 by Messias Baptista, the company has remained a family owned business up tol the present day. The most famous estate is Quinta do Cachão which has its slopes adjacent to the River Douro, in the subregion Cima Corgo. The vineyard was first planted in 1845 by the Baron Pebble sendomais and later acquired by family Afonso Cabral, who in turn sold it to Messiah family in 1956. In order to increase production capacity, Messias acquired another adjoining property, Quinta do Rei, then belonging Gonzales Byass.
