A colheita port wine with a beautiful brick red-brown color. Delicious well integrated aroma of dried fruits. A unique taste reminiscent of prunes and apricots, leading to an elegant and long finish
Colheita Ports are single harvest Tawny Ports and have been in cask for at least seven years before being bottled. A Colheita port is a wonderful wine on its own, and can be enjoyed at the end of a meal or on a cold winter afternoon in front of the fireplace
Food pairing
Can be enjoyed as a dessert wine with coffee and vanilla ice cream. Also delicious with fruit tarts and crème brûlée. Sublime with dried nuts, dried fruits such as raisins, peaches, apricots. Slightly chilled, this port can also be enjoyed as an aperitif
