Krohn 2007 Colheita Port
Colheita Port is similar to Vintage Port in that it is produced from the crop of a single exceptional year. However, while Vintage Ports spend only a brief 2 years in large oak vats and the majority of their ageing in bottle, Colheita Ports are matured exclusively in smaller oak barrels for as many years as the producer deems necessary.

Portugal is renowned for its diverse wine regions. The country’s wine production is divided into Vinho Regional (regional wines) and Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) wines, the latter representing the highest quality.

Classification
DOC Portugal
DOC Portugal (Denominação de Origem Controlada) is a wine classification system used in Portugal to designate wines of controlled origin, similar to France's AOC or Italy’s DOC. This system ensures that wines produced within a specific region adhere to strict regulations regarding grape varieties, winemaking methods, and quality standards. Portugal's wine regions, such as Douro, Alentejo, Vinho Verde, and Madeira, are recognized for their unique terroirs, which contribute to the diverse and high-quality wines the country is known for. DOC wines are typically made from indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, and Alvarinho, which express the distinct characteristics of each region. The DOC classification guarantees the authenticity and origin of the wines, providing consumers with a mark of quality and consistency. This designation is crucial in preserving the rich winemaking heritage of Portugal while helping modernize the industry and increase the global recognition of Portuguese wines.
