Description

Exclusive to Vintage Wine and Port
The 1950 Palmer Port Colheita is an extraordinary single-harvest Tawny Port, aged in seasoned oak casks for more than seventy years. From the dawn of the 1950s, this rare release offers a remarkable opportunity to experience a Port of great age and refinement. Complex, elegant and beautifully evolved, it is a wine of true historical significance. Drink now or over the next few years.

Tasting Notes:
Deep mahogany with amber-golden highlights at the rim. The nose is richly layered and mature, with aromas of dried figs, dates, chestnut, caramelised orange peel, polished wood, coffee and exotic spice. On the palate, flavours of raisin, toffee, roasted almond, molasses and hints of treacle unfold with remarkable silkiness. A vibrant acidity balances the richness, leading to an exceptionally long, nutty and complex finish with lingering notes of dried fruits and fine oak.

Serving Tips & Storage
Colheita Ports are bottled ready to drink and require no decanting. Best served slightly chilled (12–14°C) to highlight aromatic complexity and freshness. This 1950 Colheita pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, rich fruit cake, dark chocolate desserts or a selection of mature cheeses. Once opened, the wine will keep in excellent condition for several weeks if stored upright in a cool place. Please store unopened bottles on their side, in a cool, dark environment away from heat and light.

Palmer is an independent Port house with a reputation for producing traditional styles at outstanding value. Samuel Palmer, a late ancestor of the Van Zeller family – once owner of Casa de Malladas – was a maverick and a remarkable icon in the trade of high-quality Port shipped to England. Paying attention to every single detail, the Van Zeller family have carefully aged their wines in the highest quality oak casks to ensure that they mature these rare elixirs as Samuel Palmer once wanted them to be. Specialising in Colheitas, Tawnies and Aged Ports, Palmer sources its grapes from the Douro Valley’s schistous vineyards, crafting expressive, authentic wines that combine heritage with elegance.
