A port wine soft in taste, reddish with orange hues. On the nose shows aromas of nuts (hazelnut), fruit in syrup and ginger, and hints of smoke. It displays an elegant and silky palate, with flavours of sweet fruit perfectly aligned with its tannins, making this an impeccable Tawny.
A Colheita Port is a Tawny Port from a single harvest and has spent at least 7 years in French oak barrels of about 550 liters. Colheita port wine represents less than 1% of the total annual production of postage. 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).
