Presidential Colheita 1995 – 30-year-old cask-aged port, to be bottled in 2025

Presidential Colheita 1995 is a beautiful, mature Colheita Port with three full decades of aging behind it. The grapes were harvested in 1995, and the port has been allowed to age slowly in wooden casks until its bottling in 2025.

The long cask aging has produced a port with great depth and an elegantly mature character. Here, dried fruit, toasted nuts, and caramel blend with warm spices and a subtle hint of the many years spent in wooden casks.

1995 Colheita Port

A Colheita is a Tawny Port from a single vintage. Instead of being bottled young, the wine is allowed to age for many years in wooden casks. This results in a very special evolution, where the fresh fruit is slowly replaced by more complex and mature nuances.

Presidential Colheita 1995 was bottled in 2025 after approximately 30 years of cask aging. This makes it an exciting choice for the Port wine lover and, at the same time, an ideal gift for a 30th birthday, an anniversary, or another special occasion.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense and ripe, with dried fruits, toasted nuts, caramel, and subtle spicy notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and harmonious with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and soft caramel. The many years in cask add depth, warm spices, and an elegant woody character.

Finish: Long and pleasant with lingering notes of nuts, caramel, dried fruit, and spices.

Serving

Presidential Colheita 1995 is best served slightly chilled. It is excellent as an after-dinner drink and also pairs well with aged cheeses, nut-based desserts, and desserts featuring caramel or dried fruit.
