Burmester

Tawny Port

This classic Tawny Port from Burmester has a vivid golden-brown colour. The aromas of ripe fruit are abundant on the nose, with appealing notes of vanilla. On the palate it is delightfully fresh with a marked fruity character. Velvety, round and remarkably engaging.

Winemaking:
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. …

Amber in hue with golden reflections, it reveals an elegant bouquet of dried figs, toasted almonds, orange peel, and subtle vanilla from oak maturation.
