50 Year Old White Port
50cl in own gift tube

Description and Reviews:
This 50 Year Old White Port is a captivating gem with a amber hue that hints at its age and complexity. The nose is an intricate tapestry of aromas, where toasted nuts and caramelized orange peel intertwine with hints of honey and a subtle note of dried apricot. On the palate, it offers a rich, luxurious experience with flavours of roasted almonds and golden toffee, balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps it refreshingly lively. The finish is long and sumptuous, with a velvety smoothness that leaves a lingering impression of sweet spice and warmth. This port is a masterful blend of age and elegance, perfect for savouring slowly and enjoying its depth and sophistication.

Serving & Food Pairing:
White Ports are ready to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed chilled at 12-13ºC on its own as an aperitif, or paired with rich starters such as mushroom risotto. With a freshness beyond age, White Port is also ideal with crème brulee or a spicy apple crumble.
