The making of Burmester LBV 2019 Port is a true art. The grapes, mainly of the Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz varieties, are harvested by hand in the vineyards of the Douro region. After partial fermentation, the addition of wine brandy stops the process, preserving the grapes' natural sugars. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for around four years, a method known as Late Bottled Vintage (LBV). This barrel ageing allows the wine to develop the complex aromas and unique depth characteristic of Port wines in this category.
