Product details
Quinta de la Rosa's White Port is made in the traditional manner in our granite lagares, the grapes are lightly trodden to give its distinctive golden colour, before the free run juice is fermented and fortified at 7 Beaume. The White Port is then stored in small wooden casks and matured in our own lodge at La Rosa. The White Port is blended from stocks held at La Rosa and has an average age of 2-3 years. Unlike most port shippers, all products are stored and bottled in the Douro (at La Rosa and not Porto), allowing full traceability and ensuring quality from grape to bottle.
Grape Varieties:
Gouveio,Rabigato,Malvasia Fina
Tasting Notes:
A first class aperitif wine, a beautiful amber/honey colour, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, tropical fruits especially pineapple, but at the same time has a long dry finish, typical of the house style you find at La Rosa.
Store and Serve Advices:
It should be served slightly chilled.
Food Pairing:
Good as a compliment to rich pates and fois gras. Good to drink cold as an aperitif or with a mixer, White Port and tonic is a particular favourite on the terrace at La Rosa in the summer whilst nibbling on some home produced roasted almonds. Make it like a gin and tonic together with ice and a slice of lemon.
Allergens:
