Description

A Tawny Port from a single harvest and exceptional quality, aged for a minimum of 7 years in cask, representing less than 1% of the total production of Port every year. Like a Vintage Port, a Colheita is only released when the best conditions are gathered. Whilst it ages, its young fruity and fresh aromas develop through oxidation to create an increased smoothness harmony and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Bottled in 77 &  a true example of the classic Niepoort style with typical reductive notes at opening (bottle sickness) of a wine that aged longer in bottle than in cask. Outstanding fresh acidity, subtle & complex with a long lingering finish.
