Quinta dos Mattos Colheita 1970 – 50 years barrel aged port, bottled 2020

Quinta dos Mattos Colheita 1970 is a majestic and rare port from the Douro, created from grapes harvested in 1970 and carefully aged for a full 50 years in oak barrels before being bottled in 2020. This is a Colheita for collectors, connoisseurs and connoisseurs who want to experience how time can transform wine into something truly unique.

A Colheita is a tawny port from a single vintage, and 1970 stands as a classic and coveted harvest in the Douro. Long barrel aging in small oak barrels has given the wine impressive depth, silky texture and a complex aroma profile, with oxidative aging developing layer upon layer of nuts, dried fruit and spice.

The color is deep mahogany with amber reflections. In the glass, the wine is both intense and harmonious – a port that balances concentrated sweetness with fresh acidity and an almost endless finish. Perfect as a meditation wine, with ripe cheeses, desserts with nuts or simply as an exclusive end to a special evening.
