Product Notes

Barros Colheita Port wine is a premium aged tawny port from Portugal's esteemed Douro Valley. It boasts assertive flavour profiles with alluring complexity, blending notes of ripe fruits, nuts, and rich spices. Having been aged in wooden casks, the wine demonstrates a sumptuous amber hue, deepening with each passing year. The Port carries an elegant sweetness, balanced perfectly by its vibrant acidity. Its smooth, velvety texture is complemented by a long, warm finish that enchants your palate. A vintage wine, Barros Colheita Port is ideal for special occasions, pairing excellently with blue cheeses, desserts, and chocolates.

Tasting Notes

Bright brown colour with reddish hints. Complex nose, characterised by the presence of the wood notes wonderfully blended with aromas of spice, dried fruits and delicate hints of fruit jam. Well structured with good balance and firm, round tannins that emerge on the intense and velvety palate. Delightful persistence on the finish.
