wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1966 F. Martins Colheita Port? Are there any special opening tools suggested for older vintages?
This 1966 Colheita Port is a mature and ready-to-drink wine, best served slightly chilled at 12-16°C. Colheita Ports are aged in wood and bottled when ready, so they can be enjoyed upon release and remain stable for a long time after opening if refrigerated. For older vintages like this, an Ah-So opener, Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, or Durand is highly recommended to safely remove the potentially fragile cork.
