The sweet white Quinta do Noval Fine White Port is also available in 0.375L bottles. An ideal amount for an aperitif for two, to try or if you need a sip for cooking, the rest you can drink.
This port is made from the Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Rabigato and Códega grape varieties, which are native to the Dour Valley. Half of the wine is fermented with the skins so that a certain amount of tannins can be extracted from the grape skins. This promotes the structure of the wine. The aging takes two to three years and takes place in used wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks.
When describing the wine, let's let the technical director of Quinta do Noval have his say. Carlos Agrellos writes about the Fine White Port: "It has a yellow-gold color and a fruity bouquet. In the mouth it is sweet, fine, smooth, with a good balance and good aromatic persistence. It is an excellent port wine for an informal aperitif. Serve chilled."
Incidentally, it is also perfectly legitimate to serve white port "on the rocks" as an aperitif.
