Palmer White Port 2014 (Douro, Portugal)

A youthful, vintage-dated White Port that marries bright orchard-fruit purity with the first shades of cask-aged complexity.

Winemaker and oenologist, Carlos Alves, said: “2015 was an unusual year. Exceptional wines from the Douro Superior but some imbalance in Cima Corgo and Baixo Corgo. 2015 wines have a vibrant acidity and demanded an extensive and detailed work at the winery.”
