Quinta do Portal 10YO White Port
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
This Port Wine impresses by the harmony between the complexity of a old wine (with dry fruits and spices) and its freshness (marked by yellow fruits and floral notes).
It has a shiny golden colour showing very good acidity that balances with its spicy and honeyed character. The final is long and fresh inviting for another sip.

The family has been producing Port wine in the Pinhão valley for more than 100 years, but it has been in the Douro at least since 1477, when the King D. Afonso V grants a portion of land (Comenda de Oliveira) to the noble D. Afonso de Mansilha.
Later in 1756, Frei João de Mansilha played a very important role in the demarcation of the Douro and its implementation.
The knowledge and will have in its origin several generations of people that dedicated their lives to the region and to its most important wine.
Drinking a glass of their Ports is drinking through the history of a region. The Port wines are elegant, fresh, approachable and really pleasant wines.
