A 2009 Colheita portwine, purple with some red tones as colour. A bouquet of predominant aromas of vanilla and coffee. The taste is complex, elegant and fine. The texture is velvety and seductive. The finish is long, vibrant, powerful.
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)
