The Colheita Ports from Quinta das Carvalhas result from the selection of high-quality wines from the estate, in exceptional years, that show potential for ageing in wood. These are single-vintage blends, aged in vessels of different sizes — from 550-litre casks to small barrels and vats — for a minimum of 7 years.
The ageing in wood imparts the development of aromas and flavours typical of the Tawny category, which, with prolonged maturation, evolve into very complex wines while always retaining the characteristics of the original vintage. As such, they are unique and highly original wines.
