Vista Alegre Colheita Port 2007 – A Refined Wine with Long Aging Potential

The Vista Alegre Colheita Port 2007 is an exquisite Portuguese wine with a single harvest, crafted using traditional methods. Grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, and Tinta Barroca are hand-picked and then trod in old stone “lagares”, followed by partial strip of the grapes. The fermentation is done with temperature control and then halted by adding brandy (firewater). After bottling, the wine is aged in oak casks for a minimum of 7 years, resulting in a product that has an excellent aging potential.
