Very Very Old Tawny Port, DOC Douro
Coimbra de Mattos

This Port wine is one of the oldest available in the world! The wine was produced in 1858 by Domingos Ayres de Mattos (1829-1890) and kept in bottles in the cellar of his residence, “Casa de Cima”. Domingos’ son Antonio Ayres de Mattos (1879-1956), father of the current owners of this family owned business, was aware of the wine’s exceptional quality and (possibly motivated by sentimental reasons), wanted to leave the destiny of such a ‘treasure’ to his heirs. The wines were tasted in 1969 and again in 2013 for quality control. Almost the entire stock was found to be in perfect condition. In 2013 the owners decided to re-bottle and sell a small quantity of this exceptional port. …

Vinho Tinto do Portal - Miguel Antonio Malleiro

The *1830 Duque do Porto* – *Vinho Tinto do Portal*, produced by Miguel António Malleiro, is an extraordinary relic of Portuguese winemaking history and one of the oldest surviving examples of its kind. Dating back nearly two centuries, this wine stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of early 19th-century vintners, created long before modern techniques, when production was entirely artisanal and reliant on generational knowledge. Surviving bottles from this era are exceptionally rare, making this a treasure of immense historical and oenological value.

In the glass, it would be expected to show a deep mahogany-brown hue with green reflections at the rim—hallmarks of extreme age in fortified or long-lived red wines. …

Tawny Port

This classic Tawny Port from Burmester has a vivid golden-brown colour. The aromas of ripe fruit are abundant on the nose, with appealing notes of vanilla. On the palate it is delightfully fresh with a marked fruity character. Velvety, round and remarkably engaging.

Winemaking:
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. …
