Burmester, Porto Colheita Porto 1975

Burmester Porto Colheita 1975 is a beautifully mature, single-vintage tawny Port from one of Portugal’s historic Port houses. Its attractive amber colour, refined dried-fruit character and silky texture make it a particularly elegant expression of a 1975 Colheita, offering both remarkable complexity and a memorable finish.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an inviting amber hue, reflecting its long maturation in wood. The nose is elegant and expressive, with aromas of dried fruit, candied orange peel and a subtle layer of spice. On the palate, it is creamy and velvety, with a full-bodied yet polished character. Layers of mature fruit lead into a long, persistent finish with excellent balance and impressive refinement. As a mature Colheita, it is ready to enjoy now and should remain stable for some time when stored properly, although its nuanced character is best appreciated in the near term.

Production
Colheita Port is made from grapes harvested in a single vintage and fortified with grape spirit after fermentation, preserving the wine’s natural sweetness and structure. It is then matured in wooden casks for at least seven years, allowing gradual oxidation and the development of its characteristic dried-fruit, citrus and spice notes. Specific vineyard, grape variety and harvesting details are not provided for this bottling.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, ideally at around 12–14°C. This mature Colheita is an excellent match for chocolate and caramel desserts, crème brûlée, dried-fruit desserts and mature cheeses. It can generally be enjoyed without decanting, though careful decanting may be useful if sediment is present or if you wish to allow the wine to open gently before serving. Once opened, keep it cool and well sealed.

Producer
Burmester has a long history dating back to 1730, when Henry Burmester and John Nash founded a grain-trading company in London. In 1750, the business moved to Vila Nova de Gaia and began exporting Port to the British Isles and across Europe. The Burmester family’s commercial and financial influence in London was so highly regarded that Wimbledon’s best-known street, Burmester Road, bears the family name. Today, Burmester remains closely associated with the tradition and craftsmanship of Port production.
