Colheita Ports are Tawny Ports from a single harvest aged in wood for at least seven years before
being bottled. The Colheita Port is wonderful on its own at the end of a meal or on a cold winter
afternoon in front of an open fireplace.
Tasting Notes
Brick red colour with some orange/brown hues and solid depth of colour. Delightful vinous
aroma, well integrated with aroma of dried fruits. On the palate, shows great freshness along with
subdued dried apricots and figs, leading to a lengthy spirity finish.
Vinification
Following on from the exceptional wines made in 1997, the 1998 Colheita shows great character,
fruit and concentration following a warm summer and exceptionally hot August.The wine
comprising the 1998 Colheita was aged in our cool cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia in small old oak
casks under the watchful eye of Niepoort Master Blender José Nogueira.
