Coronation Grand Tawny

The Coronation Tawny is a luscious and intense fortified wine, showcasing the depth and complexity that comes from two decades of careful aging in seasoned hogsheads. With an average age of twenty years, this Tawny has developed a rich, velvety texture and an exquisite balance between opulence and finesse. On the palate, layers of dark caramel and golden toffee unfold, interwoven with notes of dried fig, candied orange peel, and roasted nuts, creating a luxurious mouthfeel. Subtle hints of Christmas cake spice—clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon—add warmth and intrigue, enhancing the wine’s depth. Despite its remarkable maturity, the Coronation Tawny retains a surprising freshness, with a lift of dried citrus zest and a touch of rancio complexity, giving it a vibrant, lingering finish. The result is a smooth, generous, and beautifully harmonized Tawny that celebrates the art of patience and the mastery of Krondorf’s fortified winemaking tradition.
