Product details
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 (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) 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. It is then bottled and sold according to the demands of the market.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Brick in colour. It shows an exotic nose, with notes of ripe fruit (white cherries), spices and hints of buttery caramel. The palate reveals sweet flavours, with notes of ripe fruit and boiled sweets, and hints of spices. A smooth and silky wine.
Store and Serve Advices:
The wine should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. Over time, it is natural that sediment will form at the bottom of a bottle of Port wine. To ensure its full quality and flavour, this wine should be stored in bottle for as little time as possible, and should be drunk soon after purchase. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
Food Pairing:
It will reveal all its fineness and sophistication when combined with caramel desserts, dried fruits and cheeses of minimum intensity.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
