Burmester, Porto 20 years old Porto in originele geschenkkoker nvt NV

Burmester 20 Years Old Tawny Port is a refined, wood-aged Port presented in its original gift tube—an elegant choice for gifting or after-dinner enjoyment. Aged for an average of two decades, it combines the richness of mature Port with the graceful complexity that comes from extended cask ageing. The Burmester name has German roots and a long-established connection with the Port trade, dating back to the 18th century.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a delicate golden hue with attractive amber highlights. Its aromatic profile is rich and complex, offering notes of seasoned wood, toasted nuts, raisins and honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with layered dried-fruit and nutty flavours balanced by a smooth, velvety texture. The finish is long, generous and polished, with the warmth and complexity expected of a mature Tawny Port. Ready to drink on release, this 20 Years Old Tawny is best appreciated for its existing maturity rather than prolonged cellaring. Once opened, it should be kept well sealed and enjoyed within several weeks for the best expression.

Production
As a 20 Years Old Tawny Port, it is a blend of Port wines matured over an extended period in wooden casks, allowing gradual oxidation and the development of its characteristic amber colour, nutty aromas and dried-fruit complexity. The wine is produced in Portugal’s traditional Port region and matured at Burmester’s cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Specific vineyard sites, grape varieties and harvesting methods are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, ideally at around 12–14°C. This mature Tawny is an excellent partner for firm, aged cheeses, pâté and dishes featuring nuts, while its honeyed dried-fruit character also complements desserts such as crème brûlée, almond pastries, caramel desserts and dried-fruit tarts. It generally does not require decanting, although allowing it to breathe briefly in a suitable glass can help reveal its aromas.

Producer
Burmester traces its history to 1730, when Henry Burmester and John Nash founded a grain-trading company in London. In 1750, the business moved to Vila Nova de Gaia and began shipping Port to the British Isles and other European markets. The Burmester family became well known for its commercial and financial activities in London, and the name is still commemorated by Burmester Road in the Wimbledon area. Today, the producer remains associated with the long tradition and distinctive style of Portuguese Port.
