Quinta da Devesa, Colheita White Port 1969 Domaine des Bernardins

Quinta da Devesa, Colheita White Port 1969 Domaine des BernardinsThis Porto Colheita 1969 White presents us with an outstanding bouquet, a very crisp acidity, due to the complexity, refined quality and long finish. This White Colheita is really impressive in its aromas of candied orange, exotic resins and honey hints. It is really delicious and subtle, with a very long and vigorous aftertaste.

fresh fruit

Rich and flavourful on the palate

a great bottle

A palate with a lovely chalkiness balanced and wonderfully refined

brown sugar and a note of floral gum reminiscent of geranium

This is Rafael Palacios' top white from the Bibei Valley in Valdeorras

It has a brilliant straw colour with greenish shades and an aroma of matured fruit such as pear

although more opaque than dark

Attractive and engaging fruit with genuine terroir character to boot

Generous and full bodied

Only 550 bottles were produced and as luck would have it Peter Crawford is an old friend of ours and we got some

mahogany and tea infusions
