Colheita Port

Colheita Ports are Tawny Ports made from the very best wines of a single harvest (Colheita means harvest in Portuguese). Although they are aged in the same way as blended tawny Ports (10, 20, 30 and over 40 years) in seasoned oak casks, they differ in that they are representative of one single year and not blended to express a consistent style with little or no variation. The mild winter and warm Spring of 2007 gave rise to one of the most celebrated vintages ever. Produced from excellent wines from the same year, Dow’s 2007 colheita was specially selected for ageing by Charles Symington, Dow’s Master Blender.
