***90 Points - Outstanding - Wine Enthusiast***

Burmester Colheita, a fortified wine made from the native Tinta Cao, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca varieties, honours their terroir in Quinta do Arnozelo, in the heart of the Douro Superior region.

We are delighted to exclusively offer in the UK these outstanding Ports and wines from one of the most iconic estate in the Douro Valley. Quinta Das Carvalhas

As wood-aged Colheitas go, this is young, emphasizing fruit rather than wood aging. That makes a spicy wine with toffee and caramel flavors that has layers of red fruits and acidity. The wood shows fitfully through at the end. Roger Voss
