Description and Reviews:
The 1952 Burmester Colheita Port is a silky and refined port wine with the complexity that comes from decades of aging.

Tasting notes
Amber with golden edges, indicative of its long aging in wooden casks. On the nose, complex aromas of figs, prunes, dates , almonds and hazelnuts intermingle with notes of caramel, toffee, and subtle spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is rich, smooth, and well-balanced, with layers of dried fruits, honey, wood spices, and toasted almonds. It finishes long and persistent finish, with a fine balance of sweetness and acidity.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Best enjoyed slightly chilled, often as a dessert wine. It pairs beautifully with desserts like almond tart, dried fruit dishes, and creamy cheeses, or it can be sipped on its own to appreciate its full complexity.

Burmester
One of the leading Port wine producers in Portugal. Founded in 1750 by Henry Burmester and John Nash, it has a long history of producing high-quality Ports. Burmester Ports are highly regarded for their quality and consistency, and the company has a reputation for producing some of the finest Ports in the Douro region. They are particularly known for their Colheita Ports, which are single-vintage Tawny Ports aged in oak barrels for an extended period before being bottled.

How to Store Your Colheita Port:
Colheita Ports should be stored in a cool and dry place, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain in an upright position. If stored correctly, Colheita Ports will keep for decades in the bottle. Over time, it is natural that a little sediment will form at the bottom of the bottle. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.
