Tasting Notes:
Amber with hints of copper and gold. The bouquet is rich and layered, with notes of dried apricot, candied orange peel, roasted almonds and subtle vanilla. On the palate, flavours of fig, caramel, toffee and warm spice unfold against a backdrop of fresh acidity, giving depth and vibrancy. The finish is long, nutty and elegant, leaving lingering impressions of dried fruits and oak.
Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to enjoy and do not require decanting. Serve slightly chilled (12–14°C) to bring out freshness and aromatic detail. This 2005 Colheita pairs beautifully with pecan pie, almond cake, crème caramel or a selection of mature cheeses. Once opened, the wine will remain in excellent condition for several weeks if stored upright in a cool place. Please store unopened bottles on their side, in a cool, dark space 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.
