Vista Alegre Colheita Port 1995 – a fine wine made with love and dedication

Winemaking is an art and Vista Alegre Colheita Port 1995 is a fine example of this. The grapes used to craft this Port Wine are carefully selected by hand and originate from a single harvest, and are then made using traditional methods.

Process of Making Vista Alegre Colheita Port 1995

Vista Alegre Colheita Port 1995 is made in three stages:

• Partially Stripping the Grapes: The grapes are partially stripped in order to create a better balance of flavors.
• Treading the Grapes: The grapes are treaded in old stone “lagares”, which is an ancient method of pressing the grapes to extract the juice.
• Fermentation: The fermentation process is temperature controlled and is stopped with the addition of brandy.

This wine is aged in oak casks for a minimum of 7 years, and is bottled with the year of bottling printed on the back label.
