Award tasting note
"Light mahogany with wide lemon rim, raisin dated and tangerine on the rich, warm nose, generous, profound but stylish on the palate with rich supple fruit and a flossy texture, savour & deep with lovely fleshing finish".

Serving & Food Pairing

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.
