1982 Barros Colheita Port - Douro

1982 Barros Colheita Port – An aged Port with its own vintage year

A Colheita is the oak-aged expression of a single specific vintage. In the case of Barros 1982, the wine remained in oak barrels after the harvest, where the original fruit gradually transformed. This creates a different kind of complexity than that found in Vintage Port, which matures primarily in the bottle.

The Story of 1982

The 1982 vintage gives this Port a clear sense of its origins in time. Yet that vintage year tells only part of the story: the length of aging in wood also plays a role in how the fruit transforms into nutty and candied nuances. With an old Colheita, the bottling year therefore always deserves attention.

The character in the glass

Dried fruits, nuts, and caramel define the warm character of this style. Candied citrus and a hint of spice can add extra depth to the aroma. On the palate, it’s all about the balance between the ripe sweetness and the fresh vibrancy that keeps a good old Colheita lively.

A bottle to savor

The 1982 vintage appeals to enthusiasts looking for a specific vintage, but also to those who want to discover the differences between various Colheita vintages. Because the wine ages in wood until bottling, the bottling date is important to the full story of the bottle. Serve slightly chilled and let the aromas unfold gently.
