2003 Colheita Port, Feuerheerds, Douro Valley, Portugal

Colheita 2003 has been carefully selected and matured in seasoned oak casks to produce a rich mellowness with finest balance and elegance of old tawnies. This wine is aged in barrel and has tawny red hues and concentrated sweet, spiced fruit flavours, balanced by gentle acidity in the mouth.

Feuerheerds Colheita is a port wine that is aged in oak casks for at least seven years. The word "Colheita" is Portuguese for "harvest" or "vintage". Although the law requires Colheitas to be aged for at least seven years, they are often aged for much longer, sometimes up to 50 years. Producers only bottle the wine when they decide it's ready to drink, and it should be consumed within the following couple of years.
