Description

The 1997 Palmer colheita Port is a type of tawny port wine made from a single vintage and aged in wood for at least seven years before being bottled. The 1997 Colheita Port, therefore, would have been aged in casks many years, before being bottled in 2023.

Tasting Notes:
This Port has a deep tawny colour and a nose of rich and complex aromas of dried fruits, nuts, caramel, and spices. On the Palate the Port is smooth and well-balanced with flavours of fig, raisin, walnut, and toffee. There can be a hint of vanilla and a touch of spice due to the oak ageing. Long, smooth finish with lingering sweetness and a touch of acidity.

Serving Suggestions
Temperature: Best served slightly chilled, around 12-16°C (54-61°F).
Glassware: Use a port glass or a small wine glass to concentrate the aromas.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with desserts like almond tart, crème brûlée, or dried fruit compotes. It can also complement blue cheeses or be enjoyed on its own as a dessert wine.

Colheita Port Storage Advice:
Colheita Port should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. If stored correctly, Colheita Ports will keep for decades in the bottle. Over time, it is natural that a little sediment will form at the bottom of a bottle of colheita Port wine. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.

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.
