Marthas Miniature Reserve White Port Wine 5 cl 19,5%

Straw yellow like late-summer sun and light as a breeze off the Douro river – this small bottle is Port's answer to a cool afternoon drink.

Expert's Description

Martha's Miniature Reserve White Port is a White Port in a 5 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

The wine is made from white Douro grapes and kept young and fresh, preserving its pale straw colour and an aromatic, honeyed character, unlike the house's aged Tawny Ports.

Martha's Wine & Spirits has made wine in Baixo Corgo since the family settled there as grape growers in 1727, and White Port represents a lighter, more relaxed side of the house's range.
