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.

Vintage Port is a special category Port produced from a single outstanding year. Following a brief two/three-years period in oak barrels the Vintage is bottled and left to mature for up to three years to attain the unmistakable characteristics of Vintage, namely, superb complex aromas and a panoply of delicious fruit flavors, well rounded by the long ageing period.
The Vintage is a natural wine so it may create some natural sediment as it ages. Open a couple of hours before serving and eventually decant. The bottle should be stored lying away from direct light and in a cool dry place.
