Colheita Porto 1963

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned wine region known for its steep terraced vineyards and ideal conditions for Port wine production.

Colheita Port is made from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties typical of the Douro region, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão.

Messias Colheita Port is a single-vintage tawny Port aged in oak casks for a minimum of seven years. The wine undergoes controlled fermentation and fortification with grape spirit to halt fermentation, preserving natural sweetness and alcohol content. The extended aging in wood imparts complex oxidative characteristics and a refined texture.
