Tasting Notes:
Deep amber-tawny with golden highlights. The bouquet is layered and complex, showing notes of dried figs, dates, toasted walnuts, caramel and hints of orange peel. On the palate, flavours of raisin, toffee, roasted almond and warm spice are lifted by lively acidity, which balances the richness beautifully. The finish is long, smooth and nutty, with lingering notes of dried fruits and oak.
Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to enjoy and do not require decanting. Best served slightly chilled (12–14°C) to enhance aromatic expression and freshness. This 1990 Colheita pairs wonderfully with pecan pie, crème brûlée, dark chocolate desserts or a selection of mature cheeses. Once opened, the wine will keep well for several weeks if stored upright in a cool place. Store unopened bottles on their side, in a cool, dark environment away from heat and light.
Palmer is an independent Port house with a reputation for producing traditional styles at outstanding value. Samuel Palmer, a late ancestor of the Van Zeller family – once owner of Casa de Malladas – was a maverick and a remarkable icon in the trade of high-quality Port shipped to England. Paying attention to every single detail, the Van Zeller family have carefully aged their wines in the highest quality oak casks to ensure that they mature these rare elixirs as Samuel Palmer once wanted them to be. Specialising in Colheitas, Tawnies and Aged Ports, Palmer sources its grapes from the Douro Valley’s schistous vineyards, crafting expressive, authentic wines that combine heritage with elegance.
