Burmester Tordiz 40 years - Port Wine

Burmester Tordiz 40 Years - Port Wine is a Tawny Port with an age indication, originating from the Porto and Douro regions, reflecting Burmester's tradition and accumulated knowledge in creating aged Port wines. It results from a blend of different vintages, aged in wood for many years, with the 40-year indication expressing the average age of the wines that make up the blend. This prolonged aging confers complexity, balance, and the distinctive identity of great aged Tawnies.

In its production, the grapes are harvested manually, destemmed and crushed, followed by careful maceration. Fermentation takes place with temperature control until the ideal moment, then it is interrupted with the addition of grape brandy, a process that gives rise to the characteristic fortified profile of Port wine. Aging in oak barrels plays an essential role in the style of this wine, accentuating its character and the typical elegance of very old Tawny Ports.

It should be served slightly chilled and pairs very well with strong cheeses and pâtés. It's a classic choice for those seeking a Port with a mature profile, marked by the influence of time and wood.
