Royal Oporto Colheita c/ tubo 75cl
After ageing for a minimum of eight years, the wines were finally brought together and blended before bottling, resulting in a fruity Colheita with depth, elegance and complexity.
Tasting notes: Deep tawny in colour, with aromas of ripe black fruits and gentle spices. Nuances of tobacco leaf and well-integrated cask notes add layers of complexity, revealing the character of a vintage known for highly concentrated wines that mature slowly and gracefully in wood.
On the palate, it is smooth, refined and beautifully balanced, supported by vibrant acidity. Black fruit flavours unfold alongside hints of cocoa and warm spices. The structure is firm yet elegant, with discreet but present tannins guiding a long and harmonious finish.
Pairing suggestions: Pecan pie, dried figs, salted caramel desserts or creamy blue cheese.
Single-harvest Tawny Ports aged for a minimum of 7 years in wood. These Ports express the character of the year, combined with the impact of oxidative ageing.
The vintage: A very hot summer produced deep, intense and beautifully fragrant Ports. This Colheita is produced from a blend of grapes sourced from different vineyards in the Douro.
After vinification, the young wine was transferred to foudres and casks in the spring following the harvest, where its slow maturation began.
Serving temperature: 12–14°C.
