In practice many are held much longer, so the style varies widely from house to house. Quinta do Noval, in the Cima Corgo above the Pinhão valley, makes a Colheita only in exceptional years, setting aside lots with the structure to take long cask ageing and raising them in cascos, old 640-litre casks that allow slow oxidative development and gradual evaporation. When the house judges a wine ready, usually after about fifteen years, part of the stock is bottled and the remainder is left in barrel for future releases. The grapes are the traditional Douro field blend rather than a named single variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady on release and good for weeks after opening, it suits coffee and walnut cake, hard cheese or a bowl of toasted almonds. Serve lightly chilled at 14-16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
