Tom's Note
The very best Port I have ever tasted, superbly smooth with real flavour. An epic bottle!
Tasting Notes and Technical Details
Brick-red in colour with orange tints. A hugely complex nose with pronounced aromas of raisins, dried apricots, figs, roasted nuts and toffee, married with spicy notes of ginger and nutmeg. On the palate, a vibrant acidity perfectly balances the sweetness and carries the intense flavours onto the elegant and harmonious finish.

Vineyards
The Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barroca grapes that make up the Offley Colheita blend are sourced from prime vineyard sites in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro. The soil in the Douro Valley is schist - a slate-like metamorphic rock that fractures vertically, allowing the vine roots to dig deep to access water and nutrients to sustain them through the hot Douro summers. The vines are planted on terraces supported by dry stone walls on the steep hillsides sloping down to the Douro river. Given the steep gradients and the inaccessibility for machinery, vineyard operations and harvesting are carried out by hand.
