After nearly \u003cb\u003ethree decades of aging\u003c\/b\u003e in old oak barrels, this Port is a quiet powerhouse of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage and Aging:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe 1995 vintage in the Douro Valley was characterized by balanced weather, culminating in a hot, dry summer. After fermentation, the wine was first aged for two years in stainless steel, followed by an impressive \u003cb\u003e15 years in 4,000-liter oak barrels\u003c\/b\u003e. Subsequent aging in used 600-liter barrels completed the process. The total aging time in wood is therefore 30 years in used wood, allowing for subtle integration and elegance without losing its fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis Colheita shows a medium brick color, reflecting its long oxidative aging. On the nose, it delights with pronounced aromatic intensity: distinctive notes of \u003cb\u003ecaramel, quince jam, roasted hazelnut\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ecoffee\u003c\/b\u003e unfold, complemented by warm spice notes and hints of toasted bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is complex and expressive. The high acidity is perfectly balanced against the sweetness, giving it a lively freshness. It begins spicy and peppery and develops a velvety texture, culminating in a long, smooth, and \u003cb\u003ecaramel-dominated finish\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnjoyment and Storage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe 1995 Colheita shows remarkable concentration and impressive balance. It pairs excellently with full-bodied, creamy cheeses, spiced desserts, or dishes with dried fruits. Once opened, this fine Port should be stored cool and enjoyed promptly. According to experts, its drinking window is between \u003cb\u003e2025 and 2035\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColheita is a Tawny Port from a single vintage. This means that Colheita ages in barrels for at least seven years to develop a browner color and be influenced by the slow oxidation that occurs when the Port wine comes into contact with oak. Since Quevedo's Colheitas are grown in the upper part of the Douro Valley, where yields are low and the tannins are longer-lasting, they show a fruity character in their youth and are quite full-bodied. Over time, the tannins soften and the fruit makes room for spices and nutty aromas. At this point, they become complex and rich. We can bottle the Colheita every year as long as it is seven or more years old. A Colheita from a specific year can vary greatly depending on the year in which it was bottled. The longer it ages in the barrel, the fewer fruity aromas and tannins it has, because in the bottle, the lack of oxygen slows down the development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quevedo","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 0.75L","offer_id":52173200326922,"sku":"MP-TAWN-QUEVE-3611","price":99.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/files\/colheita1995.jpg?v=1774992225","url":"https:\/\/www.maitrephilippe.at\/en\/products\/tawny-port-colheita-1995-quevedo","provider":"Maître Philippe \u0026 Filles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
