Niepoort-Morgadio Da Calçada - Colheita Porto 2009
Region: Porto
Producer: Niepoort
Velvety smooth port, the result of a long, patient aging in barrel. The typical ripening aromas of dried fruits, nuts and a range of tertiary notes are fully present. In special years such as 2009 the grapes of that year are not blended but marketed separately as Colheita Porto. Legally, a minimum of 7 years of barrel maturation must take place, but the quality houses mature their colheita much longer.Preferably serve chilled with cheese or dessert; Can be stored for 1 month after opening. Keep in the fridge for minimum loss of quality.
It is a big misunderstanding that Tawny ports, like this Colheita, stop evolving once bottled, but in reality it is more than worth forgetting a few bottles up to 20 years in the cellar. The softness you get in this way is unsurpassed..
