Aged White Port is one of Quevedo’s pride. This 30-year-old White Port is an elegant, intense and very complex blend, which represents very well the traditional Quevedo family style. With many aromatic nuances and a very long finish, it is a Port that will be very difficult to forget.

Golden amber with with hints of green on the edge
Quite a complex and deep nose. Elegant and intense notes of honey, grilled nuts, fresh almonds, crème brulée and macerated raisins.
This multilayered white Port starts by displaying its raisins and honey flavours on the entry, followed by a nice and refreshing bitter mid-palate with notes of dry fruits and almonds, the finish is filled with caramel, raisins, crème brulée and lingering spices flavours. Extremely well balanced, a perfect example of team work over 3 generations of Quevedo.
