Messias Port Colheita 2005

€ 36.50

Messias Colheita Port 2005 has plenty of fresh fruit, with hints of red fruits as well as the dried fig and raisin flavours also emerged. The wine is finely balanced with its rich texture and poise coming in between dry and sweet.

Colheita's are seen as Tawny's of very high quality. Comes from a single harvest and has spent at least 7 years in French oak barrels of approximately 550 liters. Colheita port wine represents less than 1% of the total annual production of port. Like Vintage, a Colheita port is only released when the best conditions are met and after approval of the IDVP (Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto)
