This Colheita 2000 White reveals a luminous straw-yellow color that immediately captures the eye.

Produced and aged in Quinta da Devesa for 25 years, this White Colheita was bottled for the first time in 2025.
The story of José Fortunato Júnior and his wife, Antónia Soares Fortunato, is one of enduring passion and devotion to the art of Port wine. In 1941, they acquired Quinta da Devesa, establishing a distinguished family estate that, to this day, remains proudly independent and dedicated to producing wines of exceptional character and refinement.
Quinta da Devesa is a property of remarkable heritage. In 1844, the celebrated Barão de Forrester recognized its significance by including it in the very first map of the Douro Demarcated Region. Yet its most defining era began in 1941, when the Fortunato family brought new vision and meticulous craftsmanship to the estate, elevating it into a benchmark for fine Port wine. Over the decades, this pursuit of excellence naturally extended to the production of elegant DOC Douro still wines, enriching the estate’s portfolio while preserving its legacy of authenticity, precision, and timeless sophistication.
