Winemaking:
Colheita is a port from a single harvest, aged in oak casks for, at least, seven years and bottled by demand. The Maynard's Colheitas has been carefully selected and matured in seasoned oak casks to produce a rich mellowness with the finest balance and elegance of old tawnies.

Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz,Tinta Barroca,Tinto Cão

Tasting Notes:
Complex and intense nose, dominated by volatile acidity, then some exotic wood, furniture polish, dry nut; borderline heavy on the volatile acidity. Quite light and elegant in the mouth, marked volatile acidity, dry exotic wood, some sweetness with burnt caramel. Long, intense and very complex, some volatile acidity, but also exotic wood, caramel, sweet tobacco, toasted walnut.

Store and Serve Advices:
The wine should be stored in a fresh, dry and dark place, without temperature variations, and the bottle must remain up-right. As a natural product, the Port Wine is subject to create deposit when ageing. To guarantee the plenitude of its freshness and quality, the wine shall be consumed preferentially with the shortest time in bottle. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14ºC.

Food Pairing:
Slightly refreshed, expresses all the finesse and sophistication when combined with caramel desserts, dried fruits and spices, like caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tatin tart, burnt cream and Cheeses of minimum intensity. Despite the age, the freshness remains. Extraordinary marriage with a refreshing tangerine parfait. The multiplicity of possible harmonies is amazing, having the consumer the pleasure to go in search of new flavours.

Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
