Exclusive to Vintage Wine & Port.
The 2013 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 2013 Colheita Port, therefore, would have been aged in casks many years before being bottled.
Tasting Notes:
The colour has a typically be a tawny hue, evolving over time from the original deep ruby red. You can expect a rich and complex flavour profile with notes of dried fruits, nuts, caramel, and spices due to the extended aging process in wood.
