White Port

Palmer White Port 2016 (Douro, Portugal)

The 2016 Palmer shows a bright deep-gold colour and an inviting, fruit-forward nose of orange blossom, lemon peel and white peach, layered with acacia honey, vanilla pod and blanched almond.

Serve well-chilled (10–12 °C) in a white-wine glass. It’s excellent as an aperitif and shines in a Portonic (equal parts Palmer White Port and good tonic over ice, citrus twist). …
