Commercial Description:
Taste history with the first and oldest port wine house in port wine history. They still stencil the lettering by hand like they did in the 1600's!
Vinification and Ageing - Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats until the right degree of sweetness (baume) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest. A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years.
Brick colour with amber rim. Elegant and intense on the nose, with aromas of nuts (walnut and almond), notes of spice, vanilla, lemon grass and hints of mint. On the palate it reveals excellent balance between sweetness and acidity, with notes of honey and spice, light notes of smoke and hints of ripe fruit. A balanced, long and intense Colheita. Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit and spices, and medium-strength cheeses.
Alc 20%
