Description
The 2011 Messias Colheita Port represents a rich and mature expression of a cask-aged Port, offering a taste of Portuguese winemaking heritage and the nuanced flavours that come from extended barrel aging.
Tasting notes:
The extensive barrel ageing has given this port wine a tawny colour with a reddish hue. Its complex aroma includes dried fruits, nutty notes, caramel, and hints of spice and vanilla. The texture is smooth, elegant, and has a long, lingering finish.
Serving & Food Pairing
Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.
