A rare style of dry white port, made with lengthy skin maceration and wood ageing. Best served chilled as an aperitif or as a long drink with tonic water, ice and a twist of lemon. 'Dirk also makes the best dry white port going, with atypical elegance and freshness'
Tasting Notes: Golden / brown in colour with a delightful aroma of nuts and almonds which comes through on the palate with a fresh concentrated spirity finish, from extended ageing in small old oak barrels.
Vinification: The white grapes undergo long skin maceration, occasionally with foot treading in lagares, with fermentation carrying on to near dryness, before the addition of pure grape brandy. Ageing is carried in small old oak casks in our cellars in gaia for at least 3.5 Years before bottling.
