QUINTA DE LA ROSA PORTO WHITE EXTRA DRY 0,50

Vinification:

Quinta de la Rosa’s White Port is made in the traditional way in our granite presses, the grapes are lightly trodden to give it its distinctive golden color, before the free-run juice is fermented and fortified at 7 Beaume. The White Port is then stored in small wooden barrels and matured in our own accommodation in La Rosa. White Port is blended with shares held in La Rosa and has an average age of 2 to 3 years. Unlike most port transporters, all products are stored and bottled in the Douro (in La Rosa and not in Porto), allowing full traceability and guaranteeing the quality from grape to bottle.

Castes:
Gouveio, Rabigato, Malvasia Fina

Test results:
A first class aperitif, with a beautiful amber/honey color, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, tropical fruit especially pineapple, but at the same time it has a long dry finish typical of the house style you find in La Rosa.

Storage and serving advice:
It should be served slightly cold.

Pairing with food:
Good as a compliment to rich pâtés and fois gras. Good to drink cold as an aperitif or with a whisk, the White Port and tonic are favorites on La Rosa’s terrace in summer while nibbling on some home-grown toasted almonds.
