About Winery and Wines
Burmester is a distinguished brand known for its exceptional Port and DOC Douro wines, with a rich history that began in London in 1750. Founded by Henry Burmester and John Nash, the company quickly established itself by exporting Port wine from Vila Nova de Gaia to Europe. Burmester's British roots and dedication to quality have made it a renowned name in over 30 countries. The company passed through generations until 1834, when Johann Wilhelm Burmester, a descendant of the founder, revitalized the business, solidifying its reputation for elegance and individuality.
J. W. Burmester, who initially started as a clerk, became the company's manager and eventually its owner, demonstrating remarkable courage and vision. Under his leadership, Burmester expanded its influence and continued to honor its terroir, which became a distinctive trait of its wines. The tragic death of J. W. Burmester in 1885, when he was overcome by a wave at Cadouços beach, marked a poignant moment in the company's history, but his children continued the family legacy, ensuring that Burmester remained a symbol of excellence in the wine industry. Today, Burmester's wines are celebrated for their elegance and the strong sense of tradition that defines the brand.
Burmester offers a distinguished range of Port and DOC Douro wines that reflect the brand's long-standing tradition of quality and elegance. Their portfolio includes a variety of Ports, from Vintage and Tawny to Ruby and White, each crafted with precision to highlight the unique characteristics of the Douro Valley terroir. Their DOC Douro wines showcase the region's rich flavors and complexity, providing a perfect balance of tradition and innovation. Burmester’s wines are celebrated for their refinement and depth, making them a preferred choice for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
