Item # 12426 750mL

White Port is a rare type of fortified wine. This amber-colored bottle shows lots of nut-driven character and could easily pass for a lighter-styled Madeira. The fruit is fresh and full of citrus and almond notes. This Port is on the dry side, but still has a touch of residual sugar.

Or try equal parts bourbon, port, and amontillado for a higher abv option that still takes advantage of the port's wonderful lightness. But I encourage you to experiment--I've tried this bottle with overproof rhum, with Suze, with fresh grapefruit, and never missed.

The Dão and the Douro are the most important regions as far as red Portuguese table wine is concerned. Douro wines tend to be a bit fuller and fleshier than their Dão counterparts, which are generally lighter and higher in acidity. Reds from both regions are dense, rustic, and well-balanced.
