Description
This LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) Port from the 2014 vintage has an attractive and intense violet color. Fresh and delicate on the nose, where notes of wild fruits are combined with beautiful notes of eucalyptus and mint. Velvety, soft and structured on the palate, wonderfully integrating the wild fruit aromas into a long and delicious aftertaste. The balance between the wide variety of intense flavors creates a wonderfully versatile wine that matches perfectly with desserts such as chocolate-mint cheesecake, mille-feuille (popular French layered pastry) with pear, or with medium strong cheeses. Also delicious chilled as an aperitif. The wine is best stored in a cool, dry place, sheltered from light and temperature changes, and the bottle should be kept upright. Over time, it makes sense for sediment to form at the bottom of a bottle of port wine. Once opened, we recommend drinking the port within 4 to 6 months. Serve between 12 and 14 ° C.
Winemaker Carlos Alves has done a beautiful job. This is a great, high quality port wine made from a single harvest, bottled 4 to 6 years after harvest. The traditional Douro grape varieties were used, in particular Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Sousão. The grapes are always picked manually and carefully processed. The vineyards are located at an altitude of up to 600 meters and have a soil of schist-like sandstone (greywacke), alternating with granite in some places. The rows of vines are traditionally planted in horizontal terraces on the slope. More recently, vines have been planted vertically on the slope ("vinha ao alt").
The family name 'Burmester' comes from the German word „Burgmeester“ (Mayor) - as the family came from the small town of Moelln in Northern Germany. In 1730, Henry Burmester and John Nash established a grain trading business in London under the name Burmester & Nash. In 1750 the company moved to Vila Nova de Gaia and started shipping Port to the British Isles and the rest of Europe. The company was very active in London. The commercial and financial activities of the Burmester family were highly valued in London. For example, the most famous street in the Wimbledon district is 'Burmester Road'.

The silence is only disturbed by a passing train. The river flows slowly between the rocky banks and produces a landscape that is extraordinary and stunningly beautiful. The Portuguese poet Miguel Torga described the Douro as "an abundance of nature". Burmester testifies to this. Schist and granite. Stone and dust. The stone 'olive lagar' (old press) is proof that the fertile land was already cultivated during the time of the Roman empire.
Burmester's estate belongs to the tough people who have cultivated it for centuries. The grape varieties grown here are the traditional varieties of the region. A compromise between nature and human intervention is continuously made here, particularly aimed at preserving the biodiversity of the vineyard. The harvest at Burmester is an event in itself. It starts early to avoid overripe grapes. The crushing of the grapes is done very carefully to maintain the purity of the fruit. The tannic structure is preserved - the tannins are there, but they are refined and elegant. The maturation phases are balanced, preferably in oak, with the aim of integrating, never taking out.
Burmester wines are characterized by fruity and balsamic notes, fine acidity and the necessary elegance to age gracefully. Like the place where the grapes are grown in the first place, located on the left bank of the Douro River, between S. João da Pesqueira and Vila Nova de Foz Côa in the famous Douro Superior sub-region, it benefits from a microclimate that its wines gives character. The vines are spread over 100 hectares of both traditional and modern terraces, stretching from the top of the hill (at an altitude of 300 meters) to the Douro River. The main grape varieties are Touriga Nacional (about 50%), Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. There are also smaller plots of Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela.
