Description and Reviews:
The 2003 Hooper's Colheita Port is a single-vintage tawny port from Portugal's Douro Valley. "Colheita" refers to a tawny port made from grapes harvested in a specific year and aged in wooden casks for a minimum of seven years before bottling.
Tasting Notes: This port offers a rich profile with notes of dark fruits, such as blackberries, complemented by hints of raisins and coffee.
Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed slightly chilled, between 14°C and 16°C. It pairs well with desserts like almond tart, crème brûlée, or dried fruit compotes, and complements blue cheeses. Alternatively, it can be savored on its own as a dessert wine.
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and consume within three months to maintain optimal flavor.
For those interested in exploring other colheita ports from the 2003 vintage, options from producers like Kopke and Palmer are also available
About Hooper's Port
Hooper’s Port, founded by London wine merchant Richard Hooper in the 19th century, quickly became a respected brand among British port enthusiasts for its dedication to traditional production methods and quality. In 1951, it was acquired by Real Companhia Velha, Portugal's oldest wine company, which enhanced its reach and resources.

Today, Hooper’s produces a range of classic ports—Vintage, Late Bottled Vintage, and Colheita—recognized for their smooth profiles and complex flavors developed through extensive cask aging. With its historic commitment to quality,
