The Colheita is a high quality Port from a single harvest, aged in oak casks for at least 7 years. During maturation in wood, the young, fresh and fruity aromas will turn into an elegant and complex bouquet combined with a silky texture and a long lasting finish. To open, simply press upwards on the bottle (there should be room) and slide the bottom out.

Specification

Producer

Poças Júnior

In 1918, a few months before the Armistice, Manoel Domingues Poças Júnior, who had been born in the heart of the Port Wine hustle and bustle, decided to establish his own company. Manoel Poças was 30 years old and he had some experience in this business. With his uncle, he created a company to sell grape spirits to large Port Wine shippers. Soon afterwards he opened a head office in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they remain to this day. Today, with three quintas in the best winemaking areas of the Douro Demarcated Region, Poças ensures its total control over the quality of its wines and the family is more involved than ever before.

Tasting Notes

Medium tawny in colour. Aromas of dried fruit flavour, with scents of vanilla. The Port is full bodied with well integrated tannins and a long and harmonious finish.

Food Matches

An excellent digestive wine which should be served at room temperature 18°C, or slightly chilled. A fabulous accompaniment to cheese, pastry, sweets, nuts, light puddings and cake. Ready to drink when bottled.

Vinification

Made from grapes which are harvested manually from vines 40-60 years in age. Controlled fermentation with extended maceration, stopped by grape brandy addition. Aged in oak casks for a period of no less than 7 years. During maturation, the wine mellows through oxidization, similar to Old Port Wines, and presents characteristics that are unique from the particular harvest year.
