The grapes grow in the best climate and on the most beautiful slopes of the Douro region. This results in a fantastic harvest every year, and a small amount of white port is made. This requires a different approach, and Portal simply wants to make the best white port. Each year, a number of barrels are filled with the white port and a blend is made for this 10-year-old Witt port. The blending process results in an average age of ten years, making this port outstanding. Very full-bodied and complex, it tastes best slightly chilled!
In the glass, it gleams a beautiful golden yellow with a golden rim. The thick texture hints at the depth of this white port. With our noses over the glass, we smell hints of dried peaches, vanilla, woody notes, and some fresh herbs. The palate is truly beautiful, leaving impressions of dried yellow fruit, a bit like tutti fruiti, but also orange, fresh herbs, vanilla, and caramel. Later, as this 10-year-old white port settles, it also reveals nuances of apricot and honey.
