<p><span>Colheita ports are vintage tawnies, kept in large wooden casks called “tonels” in  lodge for at least 7 years before bottling.  The idea of a colheita is to produce a wood aged port from one single year (often a ‘vintage’ port quality year)</span></p>

<p>All ports at Quinta de la Rosa are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that is often associated with ports. As in their wines, they search for balance, harmony and equilibrium from their vineyards and they try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin</p>

<p><span>Quinta de la Rosa  Tawny 30 year old has a beautiful amber colour showing its age well.  The long, slow maturation in old wooden pipes (550L barrels) has given this magnificent wine enormous elegance and complexity. On the nose, slightly dried fruit aromas with touches of balsamic vinegar, coffee and exotic wood are just some of its components.  On the palate, it is simply delicious, almost light but with incredible intensity of flavour, soft, mouth filling with great persistence.</span></p>
