The producer
The history of this company begins in 1730 when Henry Burmester and John Nash founded Burmester & Nash in London, at the time dedicated to the grain trade. Only in 1750, already in Vila Nova de Gaia, they start marketing Port Wine through their exportation to Europe and the British Isles. In 1822 Frederick Burmester became a renowned member of the English colony in Portugal, being Treasurer of Factory House in Porto, in addition to developing business in the English capital as a founding partner of Westminster Bank. Among the 12 brothers, John William, who is also dedicated to finance, was founder and director of the London County Banking Company. Frederick Burmester was forced to leave Portugal due to the Napoleonic invasions without leaving direct descendants.
