Quinta da Vista Alegre 1950 Colheita Port (75cl)

A Colheita tawny port from Quinta da Vista Alegre, made from grapes harvested in 1950. The wine stayed in cask until it was bottled in 2021. Colheita is a tawny from a single harvest year, always aged in cask for at least seven years and often far longer. The bottle carries both the harvest year and the bottling year, so the time spent in cask can be read directly. It is ready to drink once bottled and does not need further keeping. Serve it lightly chilled. It suits the end of a meal, sweet desserts, mature cheese such as a strong blue, or cakes, chocolate, walnuts and crème brûlée. It also goes with coffee and a cigar.
