Quinta do Pégo Colheita 2016 – exclusive tawny port from Douro bottled in 2024

Quinta do Pégo Colheita 2016 is an elegant and complex port from the heart of the Douro Valley. Aged for several years in oak barrels and only bottled in 2024, this Colheita is a wine with maturity, freshness and impressive depth. This is a classic tawny port with finesse, balance and plenty of character.

Colheita means that the wine comes from a single harvest. In this case, 2016, which was an excellent year in the Douro. The long barrel aging develops the wine’s complex aromas.
