Portugal in Tube Carcavelos Colheita (Tasting Tube)

Portugal in Tube Carcavelos Colheita is a single-harvest fortified wine from Carcavelos, the tiny DOC on the coast between Lisbon and Cascais. Carcavelos is one of the rarest wines in Portugal, so a tube is a smart way to meet it.

Tasting notes

Carcavelos is a fortified wine aged in wood, usually off-dry to medium sweet. It is known for notes of toasted almond, dried fruit, orange peel and caramel, with a saline edge from the sea breeze. A Colheita comes from a single harvest.

Food pairing

Serve it with toasted almonds, a cheese board, pastéis de nata or a dark chocolate tart.
