Colheita Ports are distinguished Tawny Ports from a single vintage, matured in 550-liter oak barrels for at least 7 years before bottling. These wines offer a luxurious conclusion to meals and complement desserts and dried fruits beautifully. They also shine as aperitifs, particularly when paired with foie gras.
In the production process, grapes were traditionally foot-trodden in 'lagares' with 100% stem inclusion. After fortification the wine then matured in old 550-liter barrels at Vila Nova de Gaia cellars.
This Colheita Port presents a brick-red appearance with subtle orange hues. The aroma is refined and slightly smoky with dried fruit notes. On the palate, it is refreshing, featuring vibrant acidity, dried apricot and crystallized fruit flavours. The finish is long-lasting and mellow, with a spirit-driven character.
For pairing suggestions, this Port is an ideal companion to dried or preserved fruits, almond tart, and desserts based on eggs, coffee, or vanilla. For a unique experience, it can also be served chilled as an aperitif, offering a delightful start to a meal.
