This is the velvet smoking jacket of Ports - smooth, rich, and oh-so-classy. Expect a swirl of dried red fruits, golden raisins, and toasted nuts, all layered with chocolate shavings, warm wood spice, and a hint of caramelised fig. The texture? Silky and luxurious, with a long, toasty finish that feels like a warm hug from an old friend. It's balanced, beautiful, and super versatile.

If Port had a rockstar persona, Cálem would be headlining the tour. Born in 1859 with a bold dream and its own fleet of ships (yes, really), Cálem carved out its legacy by going big on Tawny - and hasn’t looked back since. From the wild heart of the Douro Superior to the serene aging cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, this is a house where time is savoured, barrels whisper secrets, and tradition is steeped into every drop. The iconic Arnozelo estate, tucked along the Douro’s south bank, is their spiritual home - 300 hectares of jaw-dropping vineyard terrain, with 100 hectares classified “A” (aka, top-tier terroir). It’s here that grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz ripen under that dry, sunbaked Portuguese sky - only to be coaxed into liquid velvet back at the cellar. Cálem doesn’t just make Tawny Ports - they live them. Specialising in long-aged styles, they bottle only to order, and let the angels take their share while the rest of us wait patiently. The result? A 10-Year-Old Tawny that’s won trophies, dazzled judges, and melted hearts worldwide. It’s aged elegance without the ego - plush, complex, and endlessly drinkable. And whether you're sipping it fireside, seaside, or just couchside - you’re taking part in a century-spanning story of craftsmanship, courage, and raisin-kissed rebellion.
