Only 4,5 and 5,0 NJP wines (Nenad Jelisic Points) are presented as the best vintages.
From October 2010, every time we update any information or write a new information, we shall write in parentheses when the update has last taken place e.g. (2010-10).
If for some wine stands behind the best vintages none, it means that the wine's price is too high for its quality or the wine's quality is too low.
Tawny port wine, type of port wine (see port wine). A port wine that must be made from port wines from several vintages and that must be aged in large oak barrels from 2 years, the simpler version, up to 40 years or even more when Colheita is in question. Tawny port wine is made in six different styles: Tawny, 10 Years Old, 20 Years Old, 30 Years Old, 40 Years Old and Colheita. Colheita is a port wine that must be made from grapes from a single vintage, that must be aged in small oak barrels for at least 7 years before it starts to be bottled and that can be aged in small oak barrels as many as 50 years or more before bottling. One can say that Colheita is a designated vintage Tawny. The age category indicates the average age of the port wine in the bottle and does not mean that the port wine is for example exactly 10 years old, if it is a 10 Years Old Tawny. Note that a Colheita must be aged in small oak barrels for at least 7 years while a Vintage and a Late Bottled Vintage must be aged in large oak barrels between 18 months and 30 months and between 4 and 6 years respectively.
