| Vinification | Hand-picked at their optimum point, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process that is based on a careful maceration with extraction of color, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by permanent pumping over during fermentation. This takes place in presses, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé degree. At this stage, the wine spirit is added (benefit), giving rise to a fortified wine. High quality wine from a single harvest. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, never less than 7 years, and is later bottled according to market requests. |
| Test Results | Reddish brick in color. Intense and fruity nose where the aromas of candied ripe fruit are combined with aromas of spices and dried fruit. In the mouth it is silky and elegant in the style of a Burmester vintage. Persistent aftertaste where its refreshing acidity stands out. |
| Gastronomy | It goes well with: red meat, sweets with caramel, dried fruits and medium intensity cheeses |
