Colheita
Colheita is a vintage Madeira wine made from a single year's harvest, aged for a minimum of five years but often much longer. It originates from the Portuguese island of Madeira and is known for its rich, complex flavors that develop over time. The wine is heated and oxidized during aging, which enhances its caramel, nutty, and dried fruit notes. Colheita is typically bottled with the year of harvest on the label, offering a unique snapshot of that specific harvest's characteristics, and it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with desserts and cheeses.
