Burmester 20 Tawny Port. As the name suggests, this is a 20-year-old port. The grapes for this Burmester 20 port are grown on hills at an altitude of 600 meters. This allows the grapes to soak up plenty of sunshine and experience cool nights. Due to the altitude, all grapes are hand-harvested at precisely the right time. The grapes are planted in granite-covered soil, which gives them their unique character. This port is composed of several different wines, all beautifully aged in oak.
The aromas and flavours of the Burmester 20 Tawny Port
This results in a beautiful and silky smooth result. The port is produced through a gentle pressing with great attention to achieving a beautiful color, beautiful flavors, and soft tannins. This 20-year-old gem certainly achieved that! Aged for a full 20 years in traditional oak "Port pipes," and we taste that in this Burmester, a unique and charming style. The aroma reveals aromas of black fruit, currants, roasted nuts, vanilla, and caramel. Perfectly balanced, everything is present but not overdone. The taste is silky smooth, creamy, and stylish. Beautiful nuances of a true 20-year-old port, almond, hazelnut, cinnamon, caramel, cocoa, and rich vanilla notes from the oak aging. Charming, velvety, and graceful—that's the best way to describe this Burmester 20 Tawny Port!
