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

The Colheita 1940 has a slightly greenish hue and presents an elegant and remarkable freshness and complex aromas of dried fruit balanced with the aromas of wood and coffee and hints of spice. In the mouth it reveals layers of flavour, ending with a long and textured finish. The White Colheita 1940 has a classic hue of white Ports aged in wood. It stands out by its surprising character with notes of citrus, spice, beeswax and hints of smoke. Fresh on the palate, it unravels flavours of syrup citrus, white plum and hazelnut, and wraps up with a long and consistent finish.
