Description

A bottle of 1974 Colheita Port from the region's oldest house – the Royal Oporto Wine Company (known in Portugal as Real Companhia Velha).

Colheita is the Portuguese word for ‘harvest’ and signifies a vintage-dated tawny. The wine must be from a single year and aged for a minimum of seven years in wood before bottling. In practice, many are aged for considerably longer.

Please note, there is no ABV stated on the labels.

This 1974 Colheita sold at our online auction for £55

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Please note this contains heavy sediment, but the colour appears to be positive.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
