There’s something unmistakably noble about Touriga Nacional, Portugal’s most iconic grape and Casa Burmester gives it a stage worthy of its heritage. Bold yet polished, this red is a love letter to the Douro: sun drenched slopes, granite soils, and a winemaking tradition as deep as the river that runs through it.

Casa Burmester (Touriga Nacional) – Red Wine
Brand: Casa Burmester | Category: Red Wine | ABV: 14% | Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Intense and seductive. Notes of wild berries, violet petals, and dark chocolate rise from the glass, followed by subtle touches of sweet spice and smoky oak. It’s floral, rich, and endlessly inviting.
Palate: Full-bodied yet remarkably refined. Ripe black cherry, plum, and fig glide across a velvety texture, layered with cinnamon, cedar, and a whisper of vanilla. The tannins are firm but polished, giving it poise and aging potential.
Finish: Long and expressive. Dark fruit lingers alongside hints of cocoa, herbs, and a dry, mineral edge that grounds it beautifully.

Production Details
Sourced from carefully selected parcels in the Douro, this 100% Touriga Nacional is aged in French oak barrels to enhance complexity without overpowering the grape’s natural elegance. The result is a wine that captures both the structure and aromatic intensity Touriga is famed for, balanced by Burmester’s meticulous craftsmanship.

Perfect For
Decadent dinners, fireside conversations, or intimate nights in with rich food and richer company. Pair it with grilled lamb, truffle risotto, or roasted duck, this wine wants bold flavors and quiet luxury.

Expert Notes
Touriga Nacional is Portugal’s flagship varietal, often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon in its structure and Syrah in its depth. Burmester’s single-varietal take showcases its floral complexity and power with impressive finesse. A must-try for fans of old-world reds with a modern edge.

Customer Reviews
“Dark, smooth, and fragrant, honestly didn’t expect it to be this elegant.”   Nina F., BGC
“If Portugal has a grand cru, this would be it.”   Carlo V., Makati
“Ordered it on a whim. Now it’s my go-to for impressing guests.”   Jomar A., Cebu

Interesting Fact
Touriga Nacional grapes are tiny and thick skinned, which means low yields but incredible flavor concentration. That’s why it’s often the backbone of great Port but in dry form, it’s an entirely different experience: rich, floral, and remarkably age-worthy.

Serving Suggestions
Decant for 30 minutes before serving at 16–18°C. Best enjoyed in a large-bowled glass to release its aromatics. Pair with bold meat dishes, aged cheeses, or Portuguese sausage for an authentic twist.

Winery Background
Founded in 1750, Casa Burmester is a pillar of Portuguese winemaking, best known for its distinguished Ports. But their still wines, especially from indigenous varietals like Touriga Nacional, are earning acclaim for blending tradition with sophistication. Every bottle is a reflection of Douro’s rugged elegance, made for those who appreciate wines with depth, story, and soul.
