Description
The 2007 Palmer Port Colheita is a beautifully aged single-harvest Tawny Port, crafted from the fine 2007 vintage and matured in seasoned oak casks. Expressive and elegant, it combines richness with freshness, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and Port enthusiasts. Ready to enjoy now but with the depth to continue ageing gracefully. Drink now or cellar until 2032+.
Tasting Notes:
Amber-tawny with glints of copper. The nose opens with aromas of dried apricot, figs, toasted almonds and subtle notes of vanilla and spice. On the palate, flavours of caramel, raisin, walnut and orange peel are lifted by bright acidity, creating a harmonious balance. The finish is long and smooth, leaving lingering notes of dried fruits and nutmeg.
Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to drink and require no decanting. Best served slightly chilled (12–14°C) to highlight freshness and aromatic complexity. A perfect match for pecan pie, almond tart, crème brûlée or 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.
