Burmester, Porto 10 years old Porto in originele geschenkkoker nvt NV

Burmester 10 Years Old Tawny Port is an elegant, mature expression presented in an original gift tube—an attractive choice for both gifting and after-dinner enjoyment. Its blend of aged tawny Ports offers a harmonious balance of dried-fruit richness, nutty complexity and silky finesse. The Burmester name has been associated with Port production in Vila Nova de Gaia since the company moved there from London in 1750.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a beautiful burnished brown-tawny colour. Its complex bouquet reveals layers of dried fruit, almond, hazelnut, honey and vanilla, with the oak ageing adding further warmth and depth. On the palate, it is notably smooth, elegant and intense, combining mellow fruit with delicate nutty and caramelised notes. As a 10-year-old Tawny Port, it is ready to drink and should remain enjoyable for several years when stored properly. Unlike Vintage Port, it does not require extended bottle ageing.

Production
The grapes are destemmed and pressed before undergoing careful maceration to extract colour, tannins and aroma. Fermentation takes place in vats at a controlled temperature of 28–30°C, with regular pumping over. The Port is then matured in oak casks, and the average age of the wines in the final blend determines the 10-year designation on the label. The warm, dry conditions of Portugal’s Douro Valley provide the concentrated fruit that forms the foundation of the blend, while cask ageing develops its tawny colour and complex nutty character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally at around 12–14°C. This Tawny Port is a natural partner for mature cheeses, pâté, foie gras, dried fruit and nut-based breads, as well as caramel brownies and chocolate cake. It can be poured directly from the bottle, as 10-year-old Tawny Port is filtered and generally does not require decanting. Once opened, store it in a cool place and enjoy within a few weeks.

Producer
Burmester’s history began in 1730, when Henry Burmester and John Nash founded a grain-trading company in London. In 1750, the business relocated to Vila Nova de Gaia and began shipping Port to the British Isles and other European markets. The Burmester family’s commercial and financial influence in London was such that Burmester Road in Wimbledon is named after the family. Today, the producer remains recognised for refined Port wines that combine traditional Douro craftsmanship with an elegant house style.
