Description
Colheita Port is a vintaged dated member of the Tawny Port family. The word colheita literally means ‘crop’, or ‘harvest’, but is better understood as ‘vintage’. However the style should not be confused with Vintage Port, as Colheita Port is required to spend at least seven years in wooden casks, though barrel ageing of twenty years or more is common practice. During this time the fortified wine undergoes oxidative ageing, bringing it more in line with an Aged Tawny than anything else.
Colheitas typically show similar nutty flavors to Aged Tawny with the addition of any characteristics specific to the vintage.
