The Colheita type is a aged Tawny from a specific year, and thus reflects a specific harvest, in contrast to e.g. 10 and 20 years of port, which, so to speak, indicates the average age of port wine. Colheita is thus the Tawny’s counterpart to the Ruby’s Vintage Port. The grapes for Otima Colheita come primarily from Warre’s field plots at Quinta da Cavadinha in Pinhão, which is described as one of the best growing areas in the Douro Valley. The port wine is made from Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz, barrel aged individually before bottling and bottling.
Otima Colheita 1995 has a beautiful amber appearance. In the aroma, it is lightly spiced with nutty, with aromas of dark chocolate. In taste, it is creamy, round and with reminders of figs, raisins and vanilla. The aftertaste is long, straight and almost with a dryness that means that it should either be enjoyed alone, for strong cheeses or not too sweet desserts. The port wine should be served lightly chilled, and after opening it will be able to last for up to a month.
Vinification:
The grapes are stored individually in oak barrels before
bottling and bottling
