2002 Burmester Colheita Tawny Port 2 x 0.75L 
2 Bottles
Port Wine

WINEMAKER: Carlos Alves.

AWARDS/RECOMMENDATIONS
91 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards

WINE VARIETIES: Traditional Douro grape varieties.

VINIFICATION
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 vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest. A Colheita wine matures in oak barrels for periods of time that can vary, but never less than 7 years. It is then bottled and sold according to the demands of the market.

TASTING NOTES
Deep red colour. Youthful nose that highlights raspberry aromas combined with dried fruits and spicy notes. On the mouth it is delicate and, at the same time, reveals depth and spectrum. Balanced and creamy, with a wonderful acidity. Finishes long and tenacious.

SERVING
Slightly chilled, it expresses all its finesse and sophistication when combined with desserts based on caramel, dried fruits and spices, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, creme brulee and medium-intensity cheeses. Store upright, in a cool, dry place, away from light and temperature fluctuations. Serve at a temperature between 14ºC and 16ºC. Consume in moderation.

HISTORY
Burmester has been renowned for its Port wines and DOC Douro wines for a long time. It all started in London in 1750, when Henry Burmester joined John Nash to establish the company Burmester, Nash & Co. They began exporting Port wine from Vila Nova de Gaia to Europe.
The company passed from one generation to another until 1834, when Johann Wilhelm Burmester (J. W. B.), a direct descendant of the founder Henry Burmester, arrived in Porto, oblivious to the fact that he would begin a famous new family dynasty. His great decisions showed character and courage. Having started as a clerk in an indebted company, he became its manager and then bought it outright with all its rights and responsibilities.
Sadly, in 1885 J. W. Burmester was overcome by a wave when he was watching the turbulent tide in the Cadouços beach, in Foz do Douro. His children took over the business.
After all political and economic instabilities, J.W. Burmester persists and in 1992 begins the production of DOC Douro Wine and was quickly well accepted by the market.
Through its long years of existence, Burmester went from one success to the other, proving its character and determination. Henry Burmester and John Nash forged the brand’s path, J. W. Burmester and his descendants solidified its character and purpose.
Today, the brand is committed to provide experiences with character in every moment of life – personal and professional. Character is the universal principle of the brand and of its wines. It is a commitment which inspires and motivates Burmester through its personality.
