Hutcheson 2009 Colheita Feuerheerd 75cl / 20% Colheita PortHutcheson shows its absolute strongest side in its production of charming Ruby Ports and excellent Tawny Ports and last - but certainly not least - the terrific Colheitas. Info about Colheita Port: This is a Tawny Port from a specific year as opposed to the Tawny, which is a mix of different vintages. This vintage Tawny is aged at least 7 years in barrel before it is filtered, bottled and ready for sale - and ready to drink as soon as you walk out of the Whisky.dk store.

The bottle shows the year of the grape and the year of bottling, and for those of us who geek out on what we serve, the Colheita category is filled with exciting variants for every occasion - and every dish. Often Colheita remains in barrel even after the "mandatory" 7 years, but is monitored by IVDP (Port Wine Institute) to ensure continued good taste and quality. There are examples of vintages that have spent more than 60 years in barrel - longer than we at Whisky.dk have been alive - so Colheita bottles are not made for long-term storage. This is evident from the short cork in the bottles. The young Colheita bottles can last a few years on the shelf, but it can be drunk around the date of purchase. A nice touch is that it can be left open for almost a couple of months without any noticeable impact on the taste. Store it in a cold place. The taste is described as having a lot of sweetness and more nutty than fruity and the longer it spends in barrels, the more gentle and round the taste is. It's a great dessert wine because the rich sweetness goes perfectly with other sweets. The long barrel aging time makes the Colheita nutty in color and bright like a really good Tawny and perhaps that's why this type of port is considered a specialty of the Portuguese - and since all port is made in Portugal, we're pretty sure they know what they're talking about. Just like us at Whisky.dk. We look forward to introducing you to your next Colheita Port. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8g7G2ZzeAA
