Barros Colheita 1938 Port

€ 445.00

A Colheita shows a recognizable vintage style, but is not the huge repository of a great vintage port which ripens further in the bottle. Reddish brown color with orange shades. Beautiful complex aromas like herbs, beautifully dried fruit and caramel. Sensual in the mouth with a beautiful texture and character. Long and complex finish

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)

A unique idea and gift for a birthday, a wedding anniversary or any other special birthday.
