Andresen Colheita 2011 Special Selection 50 cl – 13 years barrel aged tawny port in a class of its own

Andresen Colheita 2011 Special Selection is a true gem for the discerning port connoisseur. An exclusive tawny port from a single harvest, aged a full 13 years in small oak barrels and bottled in 2024 – a beautiful example of what time, patience and uncompromising craftsmanship can create.

Colheita Port is something very special. It’s a single vintage, selected for its quality, allowed to mature slowly in barrel until the winemaker deems it has reached its optimal expression. In this 2011 vintage from Andresen, elegance, intensity and complexity come together in a harmonious whole that makes every sip an experience.

The 50 cl bottle makes the wine ideal as a gift, for the cheese table, desserts or as pure indulgence in a quiet moment. A port that is not only tasted, but enjoyed and remembered.

Tasting notes

On the nose, the wine opens with a deep and complex bouquet of roasted nuts, caramelized fig, orange peel and spicy vanilla. The palate is silky and elegant with a nice balance between sweetness and fresh acidity. Notes of dried fruit, light smoke, dark chocolate and fine spices unfold beautifully. The aftertaste is long, warm and intense – a lasting finish that invites you to take the next sip.
