Introduction

Sequeirinha Colheita 2013 is a premium single-harvest tawny port that captures the essence of Portugal’s time-honored winemaking traditions while showcasing the distinctive character of the 2013 vintage year.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Carefully selected traditional Portuguese grape varieties grown in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, known for their quality and expression of terroir
• Distillation process: Grapes are hand-harvested, foot-treaded in traditional lagares (stone troughs), and fortified with grape spirit to halt fermentation, preserving natural sweetness
• Maturation: Aged in seasoned oak barrels since the 2013 harvest, allowing for slow oxidation and development of complex flavors over time
• Special techniques: Follows the strict Colheita classification, meaning it’s a single-vintage tawny port that must be aged for a minimum of seven years before bottling

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich aromas of dried fruits, caramel, walnuts, and subtle hints of honey, vanilla, and cinnamon spice
• Palate: Smooth and silky texture with concentrated flavors of baked figs, toasted almonds, and toffee, balanced by a refreshing acidity and subtle oak influence
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of caramelized orange peel, dried apricots, and roasted nuts

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: 14-16°C (57-61°F)
• Glass recommendation: Traditional port glass or small wine glass to concentrate the aromas
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed as a digestif after dinner in moments of contemplation or celebration
• Food pairings: Pairs wonderfully with aged cheese (especially blue cheese), crème brûlée, almond-based desserts, or simply on its own as a meditation wine
