Description
Best Ports can age many years in seasoned oak casks. This prolonged time in barrel ensures that the wines take on soft almond and walnut aromas, losing the intense red colour of its youth but gaining immense delicacy, richness and profound intensity of flavour. The word ‘Colheita’ means ‘harvest’, for Port this word is used to describe a wine from a single year that has been aged in wood for a minimum of 7 years.
Tasting Notes
Oxidized red colour, with yellow edge. Young aroma, with some fresh fruit but already with notes of spices, roasting and caramel. Fresh, long and very persistent finish.
Food Pairing
It should be served slightly refreshed (15-16º). It pairs well with cheese, egg deserts or praline caramel desserts.
