Messias Port Colheita 2011
€ 28.90
Dark brick colored wine, with a complex aroma where we find dried fruits, touches of bergamot and a sweet vanilla scent. In the mouth it has a rich texture where we confirm all the odors, finishing long and elegant
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)
