Taylor Fladgate is selling a 1976 Very Old Single Harvest Tawny Port, which is a Tawny from a single harvest, in the category known as Colheita. It was aged for a long time in oak casks, from the harvest until bottling, and slowly oxidized through the decades, almost half a century, in the cellars of Vilanova de Gaia. It has a deep amber colour and a powerful and nuanced nose, with notes of brandy and hints of an Oloroso Sherry. It's silky and has great balance between sweetness and acidity (including volatile acidity, which always plays a role in these very old wines), and it's elegant, long and persistent. It has 20% alcohol, 5.8 grams of acidity and 139 grams of sugar, reflecting concentration from evaporation and old age but brilliantly balanced. 5,000 bottles produced. The back label mentions it was bottled in 2025.
Harvest 1976 Port wine, An exceptionally dry winter was followed by a hot summer, with conditions bordering on drought. Springs and wells that had always provided water dried up for the first time in living memory. There had not been a truly rainy winter since 1972, and the prolonged drought began to affect the vines, with
some of the older plants unable to survive the summer. Rain finally arrived at the end of August,
and September was cool, with light rainfall. The harvest began on 23 September, with fully ripe
bunches free from disease. Sugar levels were high in both the Upper and Lower Douro, while cooler
temperatures favoured slow and steady fermentation. However, yields were more than 30%
lower than last year due to the drought. On 29 September, persistent rain caused some rot,
especially in the Lower Douro.
