Barros Colheita 1978

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for Port wine production. Barros is a respected Port house with a long tradition in crafting quality wines.

Barros Colheita is made from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties typical of the Douro region, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and others used in Port wine production.

Barros Colheita is a single-vintage Tawny Port aged in oak casks for a minimum of seven years, allowing it to develop complex aromas and flavors. The wine undergoes controlled fermentation and fortification with grape spirit to preserve natural sweetness and enhance aging potential.
