Burmester NV 30-Year-Old White Port (Port)
Wood-aged white Port giving the gold color and an aged toast character. The wine, aged for an average of 30 years in barrel has sweetness, but this has been transformed into maturity, richness and a final almond flavor.

Burmester NV 40-Year-Old White Port (Port)
The color is now deep amber, the result of long wood aging. The wine has retained its sweetness as well as its freshness, the acidity shooting through. A wine almost at its limit of aging, with immense concentration. It is for sipping and appreciating slowly.

Burmester 1955 Colheita Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $900
An impressively complete wine that really does not even hint at its age. It was bottled in 2008 after 53 years in wood, and the fruit is alive, fresh as well as showing raisins, sultanas and prunes. The color, too, is surprisingly deep, showing a wine that has obviously been kept in the best cellar conditions possible.

Burmester 2005 Casa Burmester Reserva Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
This is the top Douro wine in the Burmester portfolio. It is appropriately firm, mineral, with tight black fruits and solid, dry tannins. Underneath all this is richness, but it will certainly need several years—3 to 4 at least.

Burmester NV 20-Year-Old White Port (Port)
With its fine aged-wood and fruit character, this is a sweet yet complex wine. Toast, almonds, a hint of spirit and the palate and delicate acidity all combine easily in a harmonious wine whose closest comparison is with a great amontillado.

Burmester NV Sotto Voce Port (Port)
This really fits the bill for an easy-drinking, rich style of Port. Packed with aromatic fruit, herbs, chocolate and tannins, it combines sweetness with ripeness and structure. There is a dark, dry aftertaste that adds complexity.

Burmester 2006 Red (Douro)
A firmly structured wine that boasts firm, dry tannins, rich black berry and plum fruits, and a hint of wood. This is deliciously ripe, juicy, packed with warm fruit flavors, sweet and rich.

Burmester 2009 Reserva Red (Douro)
This is a firm, structured wine but with the warmth of ripe blackberries. The dusty tannins offer a framework for the spice and richness, punctuated by acidity. This elegant wine will age for 2–4 years.
