Ferreira Porto Branco Seco N.V.

Medium lemon in colour with golden hints. On the nose, bright citrus aromatics shine through alongside floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom and honeyed nuances. On the palate, a refreshing acidity balances the sweetness and carries the bright fruit flavours onto the clean, crisp finish. Delicious blended with tonic, lemon and mint to create a refreshing ‘portonic’.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed and underwent a brief pre-fermentation maceration on the skins to extract maximum aromatics. The must was then separated from the skins and fermentation took place in stainless-steel vats. The ferment was closely monitored to determine the ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortifying with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes’ natural sugars. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring following the harvest when they were transported downstream to the historic Ferreira cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for ageing in oak casks. The Dry White Port is a carefully crafted blend of wines between two to five years of age.
