Introduction:
The Barros White Porto is a fresh and approachable fortified wine, balancing ripe fruit sweetness with floral lift and a gentle nutty depth. It’s a versatile style, enjoyable chilled on its own, with tonic, or alongside light desserts.
Terrior:
Sourced from the Douro Valley’s terraced vineyards, planted in schist-rich soils. The warm, dry climate produces concentrated grapes, while altitude variation helps retain bright aromatics—ideal for white Port production.
Appearance:
Bright golden straw with pale yellow highlights and light viscosity.
Nose:
Aromas of white peach, golden apple, and citrus zest mingle with floral notes of acacia and orange blossom, underpinned by subtle almond and honey.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a soft, rounded texture. Flavors of ripe stone fruit and citrus are balanced by delicate nutty undertones and a touch of vanilla from cask aging. Gentle sweetness is lifted by fresh acidity.
Finish:
Clean and persistent—fruit and floral tones give way to a light almond note and gentle warmth.
Overall Impression:
A lively and fruit-driven White Port that works beautifully as an aperitif, in cocktails, or paired with salted almonds, pâté, or fresh fruit tarts.
