Description and Reviews:
A rare and beautifully aged 1955 vintage Colheita Port from Kopke – ideal for collectors, Port lovers, or milestone celebrations. Elegantly presented and available with gift packaging — a fitting gift for 70th birthdays, anniversaries, or historic wine collections.

Tasting Notes:
Aged for over 60 years in seasoned oak casks, this exceptional tawny-style Colheita is rich, elegant, and deeply expressive. The bouquet opens with dried fig, toasted walnut, aged leather, and citrus peel, evolving into notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, and antique wood. The palate is smooth and layered, with flavours of spiced caramel, stewed plum, orange marmalade, and hints of espresso, lifted by a beautifully fresh acidity. The finish is long, nutty, and gently warming.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC. Perfect with aged cheeses, roasted nuts, crème caramel, or a slice of fruitcake.Equally sublime enjoyed on its own as a reflective after-dinner sipper. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.
