Vieira de Sousa Fine White Port

Vieira de Sousa Fine White Port is a white Port from the Douro Valley, blended by a family Port house from Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, Viosinho and Gouveio. It is a versatile bottle: pour it chilled before dinner, or keep it for the cheese and dessert at the end.

Tasting notes

A brownish gold colour and a nose of dried fruit. Long skin maceration and an oxidative style give it a wider range of aromas than most young white Ports, with a sweet, smooth finish. The grapes are hand-picked, foot-trodden in stone lagares, and the blend is aged in stainless steel. 19.5% vol.

Food pairing

Try it with salted almonds or cured ham as an aperitif, then with pastéis de nata, toucinho do céu, a fruit tart or a soft sheep cheese such as Queijo de Azeitão. It also works with tonic and a slice of lemon.
