In 1990, about 13,000 of these bottles – never before available in the West – were put to auction

Garrafeira Particular, Vinho Generoso Colheita 1937

1937 Garrafeira Particular, Vinho Generoso – Colheita 1937

A truly remarkable piece of Portuguese winemaking history, this 1937 Garrafeira Particular Vinho Generoso represents one of the rarest surviving fortified wines from the pre-war era. The term Vinho Generoso — used traditionally for sweet fortified wines — indicates a style akin to Colheita or Garrafeira Port, produced from a single vintage and aged for decades in oak before bottling.

Now approaching ninety years of age, it displays a deep mahogany-brown core with an amber-green rim — a classic sign of long oxidative ageing. The nose is breathtakingly complex: walnut, fig, molasses, and antique wood mingle with layers of coffee, orange zest, dried apricot, and tobacco leaf. …

Tasting Notes
Dark amber with ruby glints, this wine opens with intense aromas of dried rose petals, figs, dates, and candied orange peel, interwoven with notes of molasses, caramel, and exotic spice.

White Port

Colour: Deep burnished amber with olive-green rim; perfectly limpid and luminous, showing immense age.

Nose: Profound and kaleidoscopic. Explosive lifted aromatics of Seville marmalade, preserved lemon peel and bergamot oil lead into layers of toasted hazelnut, almond praline and old teak. With air, notes of molasses, acacia honey, dried apricot, camomile and antique furniture polish emerge. Remarkably fresh for its years, with a volatile lift that adds complexity rather than heat.

Palate: Silken and weightless on entry, then building in intensity. A core of candied citrus, golden sultana and burnt sugar is wrapped in fine oxidative nuttiness. …

The Croft 1935 has a noticeably deep mahogany hue with light amber rim. This is the oldest Croft with vestige of fruit lingering on the nose with hints of macerated red cherry, figs, balsam and liquorice. Complex and compelling, with very good lift. The palate is simply outstanding with immense depth and complexity, beautiful sense of natural balance and harmony with spice, Manuka honey and dates. Long, seductive and irresistible, it is difficult to image exactly how port can be much better than this imperious Croft ’35. Brilliant.
