I cant tell you where to look (maybe Moses can) but Colheita is basicaly vintage Tawny, so it spends xxx amount of time (10, 20+ years) in barrel before being bottled. All the grapes are from one year, and when it is finaly bottled it stops maturing.
In my market (seattle) we see lots of Colheita from Kopke and Rocha (wineworth the importer is based here) and Kopke makes a 1950 and Rocha has 1957, 1947, 1937 that I know of. Im sure there are lots of others to look for either localy or on the net.
