Quinta de La Rosa, Extra Dry White Port

A first class aperitif wine with a beautiful amber/honey colour, it shows excellent fruit, as well hints of pear drop, on the palate, all the while maintaining the quintessential La Rosa long, dry finish. Simply delicious on its own or with a tonic water and a sprig of fresh mint.

Traditional port varieties, mainly Viosinho, Gouveia, Rabigato and Malvasia Fina. The first pressings of the grapes are run off and used in their white wines. When the pH starts to rise, the last approximately 10% of the juice is drawn off into stainless steel vats, to be made into white port, stopping the fermentation by adding brandy. The Extra Dry White Port is blended from stocks held at La Rosa and is aged in large ‘tonels’ for an average of 2-3 years.
