A rich, fragrant nose reveals aromas of mellow fruit with delicate hints of honey and oak. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, leading to a long, flavoursome finish. Fonseca White Port is crafted from a blend of wines produced with white grapes grown mainly on the upper slopes of the Douro Valley. Varieties include Arinto, Malvasia Fina, Códega, Esgana Cão, Folgasão, Gouveio, Viosinho, and Rabigato.
The individual wines are aged for around three years in oak vats, where they develop mellowness and depth of character. They are then blended to produce a rich White Port in the traditional smooth, full-bodied style. Ready to drink immediately and requiring no decanting, Fonseca White Port should be served well-chilled. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif or as a sweet dessert accompaniment.
