Tasting notes
The 1966 Colheita shows a deep amber color with a greenish brown rim from the extensive time spent in 600 liter large wooden casks. On the nose it reveals seductive aromas of caramel, dried fruits, especially hazelnuts, and smoke. On the palate it is velvety with a soft texture, complex structure and notes of caramel and chocolate. Round, creamy with an unquestionably long and aromatic finish.
Estate
Maynard’s is the flagship brand of Fernando and Alvaro Van Zeller’s Vinihold’s company. Named after the first established English Port wine shipper in Oporto, the Maynard’s brand honors the story of the late Walter Maynard, born in 1652, an illustrious ancestor of the van Zeller family through his marriage to Dorothea Augusta Kopke, recorded as one of the first traders to ever export Port wine to England. The brand has a premium positioning evident in every detail, from the selection of wines to the final presentation of the product itself, particularities that make all the difference, the paradigm of a unique product with centuries of tradition.
