Butler Nephew & Co.
Butler Nephew & Co., was established in Oporto by H. Burmester and John Nash in 1730, and, like most British firms of that age, they were both general merchants as well as shippers, under the name of Burmester, Nash & Co. In 1789 J. Nash and H. Burmester dissolved partnership and James Butler, a clerk and employee of the firm, was taken in as a partner and the firm became Nash, Butler & Co.
Twenty years later, J. Butler took into partnership Mr. Tyndale, Mr. Nash's nephew, and the title of the firm then became Butler, Tyndale & Co. In 1829 James Butler's nephew, Robert Butler, joined the firm and the title of the firm was again changed to Butler, Nephew and Co.
They carried on a very conservative and exclusive trade, shipping nothing but the most expensive and highest class wines, from their very fine stocks, which policy they pursue to this day, now with Christie's Port Wine Producer & Shipper as the actual owner of the brand.
7 Years Old Finest Reserve
Manufacturer: Christie's Port Wine Producer & Shipper
Region: Douro / Portugal
This tawny port is a blend of selected wines from the best vineyards, after having been stored in oak barrels for an average of 7 years. This kind of mixture is more an art than simple technique. For several hundred years, this "art form" and knowledge passed on through generations, and thus has all port wine houses their own secret traditions.
Dark beautiful tawny color, medium sweet and the aroma filled with ripe plum, cherry and hints of chocolate. An absolute quality port wine, soft and balanced, with a delicate and persistent finish.
