Burmester takes all the legacy of a region full of tradition and history and projects it in a cosmopolitan and sophisticated way. With a defiant take, it was able to cross borders very early on, and today it is recognised in several markets as a prestigious brand of Port.
In 1730, Henry Burmester and John Nash founded Burmester & Nash in London, dedicated to the grain trade.
Later, in 1750, in Vila Nova de Gaia, they began exporting Port Wine to Europe and the British Isles. The family name comes from the small town of Moelln in northern Germany, deriving from the title Burgomestre, which means head of municipality.
At the end of the millennium, the Amorim Group acquires CASA BURMESTER, having recently been acquired by the Sogevinus Group SGPS, S.A.
