Description and Reviews:
The Devesa 50 White Port is not merely a wine; it is a symphony of flavours, a celebration of nature's artistry, and a tribute to the passage of time. Let each sip transport you to the heart of the Douro Valley, where every vine has a story, and every bottle holds a masterpiece.

Tasting Notes
The aroma rises bouquet of dried apricots, toasted almonds, and whispers of honey, each scent a verse in this poetic saga. On the palate, it unfolds with a grace that only time can bestow—silky layers of caramel, citrus zest, and a lingering finish that echoes the warmth of the sun-soaked earth.

Serving & Food Pairing:
White Ports are ready to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed chilled at 10-12ºC 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. Once opened, it preserves its good tasting notes for at least 2 months if kept in the fridge.

A historic vineyard, Quinta da Devesa was already included as a quality grape growing plot in the first map of the Douro Demarcated Region. The most important history of the property began in 1941 when Jose Fortunato Junior and his wife, Antonia Soares Fortunato acquired Quinta da Devesa and decided to pour their lifetime passion for port wine into the property through great investment in port and, later, dry wine production. Over seventy years later, harvests of superior quality have been kept and stored in wooden casks in the winery cellars. These are used today to produce the famed tawny and aged white port blends alongside some exceptional colheita ports dating back to 1944.

How to store your White Port:
The bottle should be kept upright and protected from direct sunlight and heat.
