Crafted from traditional Douro grapes and sourced from steep hillside vineyards, it combines concentration with finesse in a style that feels both powerful and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep in colour with a vivid purple hue, this Vintage Port opens with a delicate yet expressive nose of red fruits, blackcurrant and a subtle hint of raisins. On the palate, the fruit becomes even more prominent, supported by a fresh, generous structure and elegant tannins.\n\nIt is complex, expressive and finishes with impressive length, leaving a layered, fruit-driven impression. While already very appealing, it should continue to develop beautifully over time, gaining further nuance and harmony with careful ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is made from a traditional blend of Douro grape varieties grown on rocky granite soils in vineyards planted on steep slopes reaching up to 600 metres in altitude. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and then destemmed before vinification, preserving purity and balance while highlighting the character of the vintage and terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe with rich chocolate desserts, blue cheese or hard cheeses to complement its depth and sweetness.

Founded in London in 1730 by Henry Burmester and John Nash, the business later relocated to Vila Nova de Gaia in 1750, where it began shipping Port to the British Isles and across Europe. The house built a strong reputation in London, and its legacy remains visible today in Wimbledon’s Burmester Road, reflecting the historical importance of the family’s commercial and financial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burmester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54366835179857,"sku":"VDZ-10269766189392-52306932597072","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/burm11011.jpg?v=1784541737","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/burmester-porto-vintage-porto-2011","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
