    • Description

    "Colheitas" such as this 1976 Quinta Das Carvalhas are Porto's great quality, originating from the single harvest mentioned on the label. After harvest, the wine is aged in seasoned oak barrels for a significant period, often until the point of bottling, allowing it to develop complex flavours and characteristics unique to the vintage.

    Tasting Notes
    Wine Spectator's tasting notes describe the wine as having rich, creamed peach and papaya notes, along with light hazelnut and ginger cream nuances. The finish is elegant, with jasmine oil and honeysuckle adding complexity. This port has been praised for its balance and intricate flavors, making it a great choice for special occasions or as a collector's item.

    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.

    30 Aug, 2024 – This has lots of salted caramel and a leathery touch. Cedary, flavorful, long and persistent with mouthwatering acidity. The 1976 vintage was originally considered thin and vegetal, but the wines have evolved stunningly. Drink now.
