Description

Fonseca - White Porto is a versatile and elegant fortified wine crafted from a selection of white grape varieties from Portugal's Douro Valley. This white port showcases a lighter, fruitier profile compared to traditional red ports, with a balance of floral and fruity flavors that make it refreshing on its own or in cocktails. Known for its smooth texture and vibrant character, Fonseca White Porto is perfect for those looking to explore a different style of port wine.

Fonseca White Porto is made from hand-harvested, indigenous white grape varieties such as Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, and Gouveio. The wine undergoes a brief aging process in stainless steel or oak barrels, preserving its fresh fruit character while developing a subtle depth. Its lighter color and slightly lower tannic structure make it highly approachable, and its natural sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity.
