Colheita 2001: marmalade, dried apricot and hazelnut, elegant and classy.
Tasting note
Mahogany. A slightly closed nose with marmalade, dried apricots and hazelnuts. Classy on the palate, not too full, with an elegant, excellent finish.
The story
A Colheita is Port from a single harvest, aged at least seven years and often much longer in old oak casks.
Food pairing
Ideal as a digestif, or with cheese, pastries, custard and chocolate.
The producer
Poças is one of the few Port houses that is entirely Portuguese and still owned by the founding family. Manoel Domingues Poças Júnior set it up on 15 August 1918 in Vila Nova de Gaia. He began by selling brandy to the Port houses and so became a Port merchant himself.
Today the fourth generation is involved. The house owns three quintas in the Douro’s three subregions: Quinta das Quartas in the Baixo Corgo (since 1932), Quinta de Vale de Cavalos in the Douro Superior (1988) and Quinta de Santa Bárbara in the Cima Corgo (1999).

Halfway between the fruit of a young wine and the woody, dried-fruit character of a mature Colheita: red fruit and raisins, with freshness from both fruit and wood. Ready to drink.
