Description

We have specially commissioned just 6 magnum size bottles to be made of the Palmer 1969 Single Harvest Tawny.

Announcing the arrival of Palmer 1969 Colheita Port - exclusive to VWP. This port-wine has been stored in seasoned oak casks since the 1969 harvest until it was bottled this year.

Tasting Notes: The 1969 palmer has a deep mahogany colour with olive highlights on the rim highlighting that this is a wine of great age. On the nose it has a very fine, elegant aroma of honey, caramel and butterscotch infused with a spicy redolence of black pepper and cinnamon. There are layers of complexity here with wild herbs and mint. The palate is perfectly balanced with a fresh acidity and sweetness. It has an amazing rich mellow flavour, molasses, caramel, dried figs, sultanas and dried fruits. The finish lasts for ages and is clean and fresh with zesty citrus notes. A delight!


Colheita Port Storage and Serving Advice:
Colheita Port should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. If stored correctly, Colheita Ports will keep for decades in the bottle. Over time, it is natural that a little sediment will form at the bottom of a bottle of colheita Port wine. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months. Colheita Ports do not require decanting and are best served at a temperature between 14 and 16°C.
