Tasting Notes:
A warm amber hue with golden reflections. Aromas of dried fruits, toasted almonds, orange peel and hints of caramelised sugar rise from the glass. The palate is silky and layered, with flavours of fig, raisin, toffee and sweet spice balanced by fresh acidity. Refined, elegant, and long on the finish, this Colheita captures both richness and finesse.
Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to enjoy and do not require decanting. Serve slightly chilled (12–14°C) to highlight the fresh fruit and nutty complexity. A superb partner for roasted nuts, crème caramel, pecan pie or mature hard cheeses. Also excellent with dark chocolate desserts. Once opened, the bottle will remain in good condition for several weeks if kept 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.
