The 1952 Burmester Colheita Port is a rare, multi-awarded port wine from a single vintage that has undergone extensive aging in cask. This wine is a great example of how time and craftsmanship can come together to create a profound and memorable tasting experience.

Tasting notesAmber 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 persistently with a fine balance of sweetness and acidity. Silky and refined with the complexity that comes from decades of aging.

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.
