Quinta de la Rosa 

Portugal / Douro Valley / 14% ABV

Quinta de la Rosa White Port is a first class aperitif wine, a beautiful amber/honey colour, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, but at the same time has a long relatively dry finish.

On the nose, delicate notes of dried fruits, including apricots and figs, intertwine with hints of orange blossom and a subtle touch of almonds.

Ripe apricots, juicy peaches, and succulent figs come together with nuances of honey and a hint spice on the palate.

The first pressings of the white grapes are taken off to be made into white wine. When the pH starts to rise, the last approximately 10% of the juice is drawn off into stainless steel vats, to be made into white port. When the fermenting juice reaches 1º Beaume, brandy is added to stop the fermentation.

The White Port is then stored in small wooden casks and matured in their own lodge at La Rosa. The White Port is blended from stocks held at La Rosa and has an average age of 2-3 years.
Unlike most port shippers, all products are stored and bottled in the Douro (at La Rosa and not Porto), allowing full traceability and ensuring quality from grape to bottle.
