This light amber tawny has an aroma of ripe cherries in the nose followed by delicious flavors of candied cherries and dried apricots that lead to a long willow rose with honey breathtaking finish
Colheitas are seen as very high-quality Tawnies. Comes 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)
Food pairing
Delicious with slightly sweetened desserts such as crème brûlée, dried fruits and as an aperitif
. Great with a handful of nuts, caramel pecan pie, milk chocolate or old Dutch cheese
Grapes: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca
Alcoholcontent

Store & Serve
Like all tawny port, colheita is best when it is chilled like a white Burgundy (14 ° C) and served in small white wine glasses (Riedel Vinum Riesling for example).
Remains enjoyable up to a few months (4 to 6 months) after opening, provided you always close the bottle with the original stopper and store it at a constant temperature of about 12 degrees.
