Burmester Porto DOP Jockey Club Tawny Porto Reserve

This Burmester Jockey Club Reserve is a beautiful Tawny of at least 7 years old. The port is made by carefully selecting and blending port wines that mature in oak barrels for a number of years, at least 7 years. The port has a clear garnet color with orange hues. A broad, perfumed nose, with intense aromas of dried fruit and spices, notes of toffee and a hint of toast. On the palate, full of ointment and complex, while revealing remarkable elegance that extends to a lasting finale.

The family name "Burmester" comes from the German word "Burgmeester" (Burgemeester) - since the family came from the small town of Moelln in northern Germany. In 1730 Henry Burmester and John Nash founded a grain trade in London under the name Burmester & Nash. In 1750, the company moved to Vila Nova de Gaia and began 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 appreciated in London. The most famous street in the Wimbledon district is the 'Burmester Road'.

The vineyards are located at an altitude of up to 600 meters and have a bottom of schist-like sandstone (greywacke), in some places interspersed with granite. 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").

This port is, when cooled, a perfect and great aperitif. The richness of aromas and flavors is actually ideal with any kind of dessert, but it is particularly good with spicy pumpkin pudding, pasties with pear and raspberry and with nuts, dried fruits and soft cheeses. The wine is best kept in a cool and dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle must stand upright. In the course of time it is logical that sediment forms on the bottom of a bottle of port wine. Once opened, we recommend drinking the port within 4 to 6 months. Serve between 14 and 16 ° C.
