Tasting Notes
Rich and mature port wine with a lovely amber hue. Intense and complex aroma, featuring notes of English cake, toasted almonds, and a hint of truffle and tea. On the palate, it is delicate, smooth and velvety, wonderfully balanced, with flavours of caramel, Muscovado sugar and walnuts, balanced by fresh orange and lemon acidity. It finishes long and soft, with delicate flavours that linger.

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 Port 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.
