Description
The 2011 Palmer Port Colheita is a classic single-harvest Tawny Port, showcasing the elegance of the outstanding 2011 vintage. Matured in seasoned oak casks, it combines richness, freshness and complexity in perfect balance. Already beautifully approachable, it will continue to evolve gracefully in bottle. A fine addition for collectors and Port lovers alike. Drink now or cellar until 2035+.
Tasting Notes:
Amber-tawny in colour with golden hues. The bouquet is expressive, offering aromas of dried fruits, walnuts, caramel and subtle notes of citrus peel. On the palate, layers of fig, raisin, toffee and roasted almond are lifted by lively acidity, delivering a smooth and balanced profile. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of dried fruits and spice.
Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to drink and require no decanting. Serve slightly chilled (12–14°C) to enhance freshness and aromatic expression. An excellent partner for pecan pie, crème caramel, nut-based desserts or a selection of mature cheeses. Once opened, this Colheita will remain in fine 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.
