Messias Colheita Port 1980
Crafted from the finest grapes of the 1980 harvest, Porto Messias Colheita 1980 is a pale tawny port wine that encapsulates decades of refinement. Its aromatic profile is characterized by a harmonious evolution of tertiary aromas, enriched by notes of noble wood, vanilla, and a touch of "vinagrinho"—a noble volatile acidity. Spices such as clove, nutmeg, and pepper add depth, complementing its elegant complexity.
This single-harvest masterpiece, aged in oak barrels for a minimum of seven years, offers a powerful and fresh palate. Its lingering finish unveils the richness of its heritage, revealing a timeless balance of flavours.
This vintage port pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, as well as with nut-based desserts such as pecan pie or walnut tart. For a more indulgent treat, savour it alongside rich dark chocolate or creme brulee.
