Porto White

Borges NV Porto White is produced in the Douro Valley region of Portugal, a renowned area for Port wine production. The Douro Valley is recognized for its unique terroir and traditional winemaking methods that contribute to the distinctive character of Port wines.

This white Port is typically made from a blend of indigenous white grape varieties native to the Douro region. Common grapes used include:

• Malvasia Fina
• Gouveio
• Viosinho
• Rabigato

The production of Borges NV Porto White follows traditional Port wine methods:

• Harvesting of white grapes from Douro vineyards.
• Fermentation is halted early by the addition of grape spirit (aguardente), preserving natural sweetness and alcohol content.
• The wine is then aged in large oak casks or stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and develop subtle complexity.
• Blending of different vintages to achieve a consistent non-vintage (NV) style.

Borges NV Porto White offers a delicate and aromatic profile characterized by:

• Color: Pale golden yellow.
• Aroma: Fresh and fruity with notes of citrus, green apple, and floral hints.
• Palate: Smooth and sweet with balanced acidity, flavors of ripe tropical fruits, honey, and a subtle nuttiness.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing with a lingering sweetness.

Borges NV Porto White pairs well with a variety of dishes and occasions, including:

• Appetizers such as blue cheese, foie gras, and pâtés.
• Seafood dishes, especially shellfish and smoked fish.
• Light desserts featuring citrus, nuts, or dried fruits.
• As an aperitif served chilled, often with a slice of lemon or tonic water.
