Port of Leith White Port (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

This White Port is a field blend of Malvasia fina, Viosinho, Gouveio and Donzelinho grapes. The wine is first fermented on its skins for a week before fortification with 1 part grape spirit to 3 parts wine. It is then matured for an average of 3 years in 10,000 litre old oak barrels. Martha’s Family Estate has been producing exquisite Port in the Douro Valley since the mid 18th century. For much of that time, their wines were sold to merchants in Porto to be bottled under other people’s brands. We couldn’t quite believe our taste-buds when we discovered them. The Port of Leith Distillery is taking a new and modern approach to produce exceptional Scotch Whisky. Their approach will be founded upon years of research into yeast and fermentation and underpinned by sourcing the very best ingredients that they can find. Every one of their casks will come from a producer they know and admire, to the extent that they can proudly present their wines or spirits to their clients. This began with the launch of an Oloroso Sherry in 2018 and continues these Port wines; products that are forging enduring relationships.
