Produced between 1904-1989 in Tarragona (Spain) after the Carthusian Monks were exiled from France. In 1989 the distillery in Tarragona closed down and the production of this liquor returned to France. Nowadays the bottles produce in the distillery of Tarragona have become one of the most expensive and sought after liquors in the world.

Constantino's Colheita 1910

SVP Constantino was founded in 1877 by Constantino de Almeida who went on to purchase the Quinta do Crasto estate in the Douro Valley.

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 - which could be anything from the minimum 7 years, to many decades.

Please note that this label does not state bottling date, bottle size or alcohol volume.
