Quinta do Infantado Colheita Port 2001

Quinta do Infantado has been a leader in estate-bottled Ports since 1979 and is the first Portuguese owned port producer to be imported into the United States. The estate has been owned by the Roseira family since the end of the 19th century and is now managed by brother and sister, João Roseira and Catherine Roseira. The vineyards (terraced, very steep and hard-soiled) are worked in traditional methods: all elaboration is done by hand.
Colheita Port is a tawny Port with grapes harvested from just one year rather than several years, and therefore it has that vintage date on its label. The wine is then aged seven years or more in oak before bottling. Colheitas account for less than 0.5% of all Ports, making them a rare treat. It has gorgeously nutty, toffee aromas and it has an amazingly long finish.
