1944 Port Vintage Report
The 1944 Port vintage was not declared; no Vintage Port or Single Quinta port was produced in this year. However, some excellent Colheita and Tawny Ports from 1944 were made and we are proud to offer one of the largest collections in the UK, these Colheita ports are true rarities which have been barrel aged until a special bottling commissioned by Vintage Wine and Port. These colheita ports from the 1944 harvest have already undergone oxidative ageing and as with all tawny port can therefore be savoured over two months after opening.

Quinta da Devesa 1944 Tawny Colheita Port.

"Colheita" means "harvest" in Portuguese, and these Ports are aged in wooden casks for a minimum of seven years — but in the case of Niepoort’s 1944, we're talking about decades of cask ageing, often until bottling in the 1970's. This prolonged ageing process produces a wine of stunning depth, complexity, and elegance.
In the glass, the 1944 Colheita shows a beautiful amber-tawny color, with greenish hues on the rim — a telltale sign of serious age. The nose is intoxicatingly complex, …
