Product details
All grapes are foot-trodden in traditional granite lagares until fermentation is stopped with the addition of grape brandy. These wines are carefully aged in old oak barrels over many years. This slow aging process over time causes the wine to gradually transform its bright red color into more amber and copper tones, thus creating a Tawny Port Wine. The longer the wine spends in the barrel, the more it concentrates flavors of honey, toffee, caramel, tobacco, dark or white chocolate, and ripe or dried fruits such as raisins, dried figs and prunes. The wines are bottled only to order. As the harvest is kept separate throughout its aging and is not blended with any other year, this wine is bottled as a Very Old Tawny Colheita.
