The winery doesn’t have much actual information on this white Port because their “grandparents were raging some…. without any economic reason, just because they didn’t know what to do with them.” Sometimes white Ports were hard to sell. The winery is now bottling them, producing just 1.260 bottles in 500-milIliter seizes with a bar top cork. It’s terrific. Tasted with some others in the category, this wasn’t the most complex, but it was tightly wound, fresh and nicely concentrated. Surprisingly light in color for a 30, it is lingering on the beautiful finish with lifted and flavorful fruit. It just doesn’t seem to want to let go on the finish. you have to beg, plead and wheedle. Then, what the heck, have another sip. It’s a beauty. If I had a quibble, small one though it might be, it didn’t seem to hold its focus as well as it aired and warmed. Not that typical for the category, these can age age very well if there are no problems with the cork and warmed, but they are not expected to be aged. They ar completely ready to drink. Don’t hesitate to dive in.
