Description

Exclusive to Vintage Wine & Port.

The 1975 Palmer Colheita Ports are single-vintage Tawny Ports. They are aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of seven years, but a 1975 Colheita would have undergone several decades of maturation, resulting in a deeply complex and nuanced wine.

Tasting Notes:
1975 Palmer is now a n oak colour reflecting its great age and time in barrel. On the nose there is a rich bouquet with pronounced notes of dried fruits (such as figs, dates, and apricots), nuts (especially almonds and walnuts), caramel, and toffee. There are also subtle hints of spices, vanilla, and even a touch of smokiness from the long barrel aging. The palate is typically rich and velvety, with a balanced sweetness. The flavours mirror the aroma, offering layers of dried fruits, nuts, and caramel, along with a pleasant spiciness and a long, lingering finish. The extensive aging process contributes to a harmonious integration of flavours and a smooth, luxurious texture.

Serving Suggestions
Temperature: Best served slightly chilled, around 12-16°C (54-61°F).
Glassware: Use a port glass or a small wine glass to concentrate the aromas.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with a variety of foods including aged cheeses, nutty desserts, or even on its own as a dessert wine.

STORAGE
The wine is ready to drink and does not require decanting. The bottle should be kept upright and protected from direct sunlight. Once opened, the port should be stored in a fridge and consumed within 3 months.

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.
