Description

The 1990 Palmer Port Colheita is a distinguished single-harvest Tawny Port, aged for over thirty years in seasoned oak casks to fully express the maturity and richness of this outstanding vintage. Complex and elegant, it offers a rare chance to enjoy a perfectly evolved Colheita, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and connoisseurs. Drink now or savour until 2035+.


Tasting Notes:
Deep amber-tawny with golden glints. The nose reveals layers of dried figs, dates, caramelised nuts, orange peel and gentle spice. On the palate, flavours of toffee, raisin, roasted almond and subtle coffee are lifted by refreshing acidity, giving balance and vibrancy. The finish is long, smooth and nutty, leaving lasting impressions of dried fruit and warm oak.


Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to enjoy and require no decanting. Serve slightly chilled (12–14°C) to highlight aromatic detail and freshness. This 1990 Colheita is a superb partner for pecan tart, crème brûlée, dark chocolate desserts or a board of mature cheeses. Once opened, the bottle will remain in excellent condition 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.
