Reviews:
Lovely dark caramel colour, with some truffle and tea notes, edges of olive and green fruits (fig).

Burmester Colheita In gift tube

The 1985 vintage is widely recognised as a classic year in the Douro, with ideal weather conditions throughout the growing season. A warm, dry summer followed by a well-timed harvest produced grapes of excellent ripeness and balance. While many producers declared Vintage Ports, the vintage also yielded remarkable wines for extended cask ageing. This Colheita captures the essence of that year with over three decades of development, offering an elegant alternative to its Vintage counterparts.

Winemaking
Hand-picked at optimal ripeness, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, then fermented in traditional granite lagares under controlled temperatures (28–30°C). …

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.
These vines are cultivated in a traditional way and enjoy a very special microclimate, acquiring the unique character of the D.O. Porto. The grapes are harvested by hand and then selected, destemmed and crushed in the winery with a careful maceration. Fermentation takes place in vats at a controlled temperature and once it reaches the right level of sweetness, the process is stopped by adding wine alcohol. …

Red and black fruit in the aroma, with much youth, blackberry compote. Very attractive in the mouth, elegant and with a beautiful presence, it proves very lively and fresh with citrus notes to mark presence. Will mature over the next 10-15 years.

Food Pairing
The association of Vintage Port with a mature blue cheese such as Stilton is one of the great classic food and wine combinations. The soft buttery texture, mellow character and piquancy of the cheese are perfectly matched by the powerfully majestic flavours of the Vintage Port. …
