Colheita Port, DOC Douro

Reviews
"This brings back a fond memory of a long lost friend, Paul Napolitano from NY. He once opened this identical Port for me years ago at his home and at the time, it was the finest Colheita I had experienced, as well as the oldest. This one was bottled in 1976 or 1977. A piece is torn off the label and makes it impossible to be certain. Dark coffee color with a greenish edge. Is this Madeira?

The palate is packed with copious caramel and fig flavors along with prunes and toffee intricately woven into a neat little package. …

VWP - Exclusive
Clearance Offer | Was £29.95 | Now £22.50

The Ruby Reserve of Quinta das Carvalhas is one of the beautiful ports produced in this emblematic Quinta. It is presented in a decanter that makes a wonderful lasting gift as the decanter can be re-used.

The “Reserva” means that the wine is made from premium grapes and has been aged for a longer period than regular Port wine giving it more mature and complex characteristics. It has a deep ruby colour with good structure, rich in aromas of very ripe red fruit, with vegetable notes, is characterized by its softly and harmony on the palate.

Noval Tawny Port
Bottled in 1974

This Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port is a style of fortified wine characterised by its amber colour and complex flavour profile that develops from extended aging in wooden barrels. Such wines are typically less fruity and more nuanced compared to Ruby Port and reveal amber colour with aromas of dried fruits, toasted nuts, caramel, and occasionally a hint of spice or vanilla. On the palate it should be smooth and balanced, with notes of nuts, dried fruits (such as figs and raisins), caramel, and hints of citrus peel.

Serving & Food Pairing
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. …
