Deep garnet core with the first suggestions of a brick-red rim. Aromas of red fruit zest and floral, honeysuckle scent. On the palate there is fresh, pure fruit. There is a lovely balance between the ripe and youthful fruit and the 10
years+ of cask-ageing, providing an enticing, smooth texture ending on a high note with a typically Dow dry and spicy aftertaste.

Pairings
Dow’s 2007 Colheita is a perfect match to sweet pastries, such as apple pie with cinnamon. Taste slightly chilled to appreciate the full complexity and sensuous pleasure of this wine. Will keep for some weeks after opening.
