“This wine is a mysterious phenomenon, a magical wine produced in extremely limited quantities and only in a few years each decade. It is the expression of a terroir and confirms something that is for me a deeply held belief. The Nacional is great because of the grapes and where they come from, not because of anything particular that we do. It has a unique personality, an extraordinary intensity and, even after many years of ageing, retains an astonishing youthfulness.” Christian Seely

The terroir: a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera, described as “attached to the soil of the Nation”. …

Colheita Port

This wine has light tinges of ruby in the heart of this wine that mostly show a well-evolved color. Initially there was a minty note that will delight port lovers. Concentrated flavours and good length on the finish. This wine has plenty of life left

Vintage Port

The 1958 Constantino Vintage Port is a rare and charming survivor from a lesser-declared vintage, offering a glimpse into mid-20th-century Portuguese winemaking from one of the Douro’s traditional producers. Constantino, founded in the late 19th century, was known for producing solid, classically styled Ports, and the 1958 is a particularly elegant and mature expression, now over six decades in bottle.

On the nose, the wine opens with delicate, evolved aromas of dried cherry, orange peel, and spiced fig, interwoven with hints of leather, polished wood, and floral potpourri. There’s a fine oxidative character that adds depth, bringing in subtle notes of walnut, old books, and sweet herbs. …

Krohn, 1958 Vintage Port

Vintage & Background
The 1958 vintage was a classic mid-century year in the Douro, producing wines of refinement and balance rather than sheer power.

The spirit is clean with a gentle floral edge. There are dried fig, raisin, chocolate and liquorice smells. It is lacy and ethereal in the mouth. It has good cut and detail right through the palate and one is left with a wonderful inner mouth perfume once the wine is swallowed.

"A green rim with a tawny core, sediment too. A deep, spicy nose shows dried spice and fleshy tamarind. In the mouth, it’s very concentrated, spicy and lively, with liquorice and darker treacle toffee notes. There’s a trace of bitterness to its slightly spirity finish, but it’s deliciously spicy with plenty of vigour." Sarah Amhed, The Wine Detective

Vintage Port

Christies label

The 1955 was the only year declared by Fonseca in the 50s. An underrated, indeed almost forgotten, vintage that deserves to be rediscovered.

Notes on the year
The year was marked by an excellent ripening season with hot weather in July and August meaning that the crop was perfectly mature towards the end of September. Most of the well known shippers declared 1955.

Tasting Note
Medium to deep red, with a remarkably youthful ruby edge. Incredible richness and almost young grapey fruit character. As it breathes it opens to reveal spicy mature dark fruit aromas. On the palate it fills the mouth with round, marzipan richness mixed with full chocolate flavour. …

New Stock Arriving Shortly - Please allow 5 days for delivery

The 1955 Graham’s Vintage Port is one of the great post-war classics and a benchmark for long-lived, opulent Port. Nearly seventy years on, it continues to display the house’s signature richness, offering a gorgeous aromatic profile of sweet dried fruits, rose petal, walnut and warm spice. The colour has faded to a deep tawny-ruby rim, yet the core retains remarkable vitality for a wine of this age.

On the palate, the 1955 delivers a silken, almost weightless texture. Flavours of fig, caramelised orange peel, molasses and redcurrant mingle with notes of almond and soft cocoa. The sweetness is beautifully integrated, never heavy, and balanced by a gentle thread of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lifted. …

We are delighted to offer a UK exclusive on Burmester Colheita Ports.

Reviews:
"(2015) Lovely dark caramel colour, with some truffle and tea notes, edges of olive and green fruits (fig). The maturity on the palate is obvious, again with fabulous sweetness and brown sugar richness, Muscovado and walnuts, but the hallmark of the fresh orange and lemon acidity plays against that and the coffee and walnut cake sweetness and richness."
