Description

Burmester 2008 Vintage Port

From one of the Douro Valley’s oldest and most respected Port houses, the Burmester 2008 Vintage Port captures the spirit of a remarkable single harvest. Crafted from grapes grown on steep schist terraces overlooking the River Douro, this wine reflects both tradition and precision. The 2008 vintage yielded fruit of exceptional purity and balance — perfectly suited to Burmester’s elegant, terroir-driven style.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby core with a faint garnet rim, signalling the first hints of maturity. The bouquet is rich and expressive, unfolding aromas of black cherry, plum, and dark chocolate alongside subtle notes of cedar, spice, and dried fig. There’s an unmistakable Douro warmth beneath its lifted floral tones — a reminder of both the sun-soaked vineyards and the craftsmanship honed since 1730.

The palate delivers intensity wrapped in finesse: layers of ripe berry fruit, sweet liquorice, and cocoa glide across a velvety structure. The tannins are fine-grained yet firm, framing the fruit with precision and giving the wine both depth and longevity. A refreshing acidity carries the flavours into a long, elegant finish, marked by notes of spice and dried fruit.

Now entering its ideal drinking window, the 2008 Vintage Port offers both immediate pleasure and further cellaring potential. Serve it decanted, ideally at 16–18°C, and enjoy alongside blue cheese, dark chocolate, or festive desserts. A superb addition to any collection, and a fitting choice for Christmas gifting — a timeless example of Burmester’s enduring dedication to quality and style.
