Barros Colheita 1974

Barros Colheita is produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for Port wine production. The grapes are sourced from a single vintage year, reflecting the unique characteristics of that harvest.

The wine is typically made from traditional Port grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, which contribute to its complexity and depth.

Barros Colheita is a single-vintage Tawny Port aged in oak casks for a minimum of seven years. The aging process allows the wine to develop rich, complex aromas and flavors. The wine is fortified with grape spirit to preserve its sweetness and enhance longevity.

• Appearance: Deep amber with golden highlights.
