Description
This White Port is very Surprising. it is best described as a light tawny made from Malvasia Fina, Moscatel Galego Branco, Rabigato and gouveio grapes. The fermentation occurs in a granite treading tanks (lagares). The grapes fermented for 5 days using the traditional treading by foot. The fermentation was interrupted by the addition of grape spirit (brandy) with 77% alc. It then spends 3 – 4 years in wooden casks similar to Tawny port.
I enjoy this as an aperitif, but also pairs well with appetizers such as fresh cheese, smoked fish, foie gras or other paté.
