Colheita Ports are Tawnies of a single year, which must be matured in wood for a minimum of seven years before they are bottled. They share some of the characteristics of the old Tawnies with an indication of age (10, 20, 30 years old), although as wines of a single harvest the individual features of each year are distinctively reflected. Conversely, aged
Tawny Ports with an indication of age are blended to express a consistent style with little or no variation. Warre’s Colheitas are beautifully structured and delicious, delicate fruit, and enticing silky-smooth texture and a long opulent finish.
Warre’s 1976 Colheita is a blend of the very highest quality wines from the 1976 harvest and matured in wood. The date of
bottling is indicated on the back label. This allows one to work out how many years were spent in cask prior to bottling.
| Tasting notes |
| Wonderful amber reddish colour. On the nose intensely nutty (almonds), dried fruit and vanilla aromas. On the palate good grip and excellent balance, with refreshing acidity and a long and lingering nutty finish. |
