I was also impressed by some new white Ports from Burmester: a series of 10, 20, 30 and 40 year old blends, which haven&#8217;t yet been released.<\/p>\n<p>We had lunch outside, looking across the river to Porto. It was a beautiful day, and the food was good. And we got a chance to drink some of the 1937 Colheita and the 40 year-old white Port, too. Sweet as, as my Kiwi chums would say.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-687\" title=\"IMGP0501\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMGP0501-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent today in Vila Nova de Gaia with Sogevenius, a Port and wine company who own the brands Calem, Barros, Burmester and Kopke.
