Origin

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.

Variety

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.

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.

Tasting notes

Food pairings
