Product details
This Port wine was produced using the traditional method. After hand-harvesting the overripe grapes, they were partially destemmed and crushed in the wine press, where they underwent light maceration before alcoholic fermentation (AF). Fermentation was stopped with the addition of brandy at the ideal time determined by the winemaker. This resulted in a fortified wine, aged in oak barrels in the Douro Valley. During aging, the lees were removed and several adjustments were made. This Colheita was stabilized and filtered before bottling in Gaia.

Tasting Notes:
An ovation to freedom. A pale mahogany center with fleeting amber-olive highlights. The nose is filled with complex layers of dried fruits, cigar box notes, cardamom, and spicy cinnamon. On the palate, a journey through flavours. The rich, smooth aromas transport us to a universe where the sumptuousness of coffee, caramel, and candied orange peel combine with a lively acidity, giving the wine an attractive freshness despite its age. A remarkably elegant Port, leading to a long and unforgettable finish, perpetuating the freedom of 1974.
