Royal Oporto, 1975

Colheita Port

Description and Reviews:
The 1975 Royal Oporto Colheita by Real Companhia Velha is a distinguished single-vintage tawny port from Portugal’s Douro Valley. This Colheita port, made from the 1975 grape harvest, is aged in oak casks for decades, developing its depth of character and complexity over time.

Tasting Profile
The 1975 Royal Oporto Colheita boasts a golden-amber color with aromas of dried fruits—figs, dates, and raisins—alongside hints of caramel, toasted nuts, and subtle spices. On the palate, it reveals a refined balance of sweetness and acidity with flavors of honey, nuts, and a touch of vanilla, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.

Pairing and Serving Suggestions
Serve slightly chilled at 14°C to 16°C. This vintage pairs wonderfully with nutty desserts, such as almond tarts or crème brûlée, and enhances blue cheeses like Stilton. It can also be savored on its own as a classic dessert wine.
