White Port

  • Bottle of Dalva 10 Years Dry White with golden colour
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280188

    Ten years is enough for a white Port to change character completely: from fresh and pale to something warmer and more elegant, without losing the freshness that sets the style apart from a classic sweet Port.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva 10 Years Dry White is a Portuguese, dry, age-indicated Port made from white grapes from the Douro Valley, bottled at 20% – a dry style that should not be confused with the better-known, sweet white Port.

    The wine is aged in old French oak barrels for ten years, giving it the first clear signs of oxidative maturation while still keeping a distinct freshness from the white grapes.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862. The house is one of the few that markets a full range of age-indicated dry white Ports – 10, 20 and 40 years – as a standalone category rather than simply producing young white Port for aperitif use.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is elegant, with ripe tangerine and a delicate nutty note of almonds.

    Palate

    The palate is dry and well balanced, with citrus and a light creamy structure that gives body without heaviness.

    Finish

    The finish is medium-length and dry, closing on a final hint of toasted almonds.

    Investment Potential

    As the youngest in Dalva's age-indicated Dry White range, the 10-year expression has more modest collecting potential than the 20 and 40-year bottles, but it still represents a rare category, since very few houses produce aged, dry white Port at all.

    Did You Know?

    Dalva is one of the few Port houses to treat dry, age-indicated white Port as a standalone range rather than a niche novelty – the house's 10, 20 and 40-year-old Dry White together span an age range usually only seen among aged Tawny Ports.

  • Bottle of Dalva 20 Years Dry White with amber-gold colour
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280187

    Two decades in old oak have done something unusual to these white grapes: the pale, fresh fruit has slowly turned deep amber, while the palate has taken on a weight rarely found in white wine.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva 20 Years Dry White is a Portuguese, dry, age-indicated Port made from white grapes from the Douro Valley, bottled at 20% – note that Dry White is a dry style and should not be mistaken for a sweet dessert-style Port.

    The wine is aged in very old French oak barrels for twenty years. The long, slow oxidation gives the colour its deep amber tone and builds a complexity of resin, citrus and nuts that defines the style.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862. The house is particularly known for exactly this range of age-indicated dry white Ports, alongside its classic Colheita Ports.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is deep and complex, with notes of exotic resin, citrus fruit, honey and almonds.

    Palate

    The palate is dry and finely structured, with a silky, slightly fat character and a pleasant complexity.

    Finish

    The finish is long, with a well-integrated dryness and a light burning, warm close.

    Investment Potential

    A 20-year-old Dry White sits well above standard white Port production, which is typically drunk young. Among collectors interested in Port's rarer sides, the age-indicated Dry White range is in demand, precisely because so few houses produce white Port with this much cask age.

    Did You Know?

    Although the wine is made from white grapes, the twenty years in cask make it visually indistinguishable from an aged Tawny in the glass – but the palate tells a different story, with citrus and resin instead of the dark berries and nuts found in a red Colheita.

  • Bottle of Dalva 40 Years Dry White with deep amber-gold colour
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280186

    Few white Ports ever spend a full decade in cask before being poured as a fresh aperitif. This one has spent forty – an almost extinct style, where time alone has turned white grapes into something deep amber and complex.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva 40 Years Dry White is a Portuguese, dry, age-indicated Port made from white grapes from the Douro Valley, bottled at 20% – not to be confused with a sweet dessert-style Port, since the wine is deliberately vinified dry.

    The wine is aged in very old French oak barrels for forty years, where the slow oxygen contact has turned the pale grapes a deep amber-gold colour and developed a complexity usually associated only with the very oldest Tawny Ports.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862. The house has made this exact style of long-aged white Port one of its core specialities, alongside its aged Colheita Ports.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is deep and complex, with ripe mandarin, exotic resin tones and toasted almonds.

    Palate

    The palate is full-bodied and dry, with a silky structure and layers of nuts, dried citrus and a light honeyed warmth.

    Finish

    The finish is very long and dry, closing with a light burning warmth and a final note of toasted nuts.

    Investment Potential

    Most white Ports are drunk young as a fresh aperitif, making a 40-year-old Dry White an extremely rare exception within the category. The combination of extended cask ageing and the low production of this particular style makes the bottle highly sought after among collectors interested in Port's lesser-known side.

    Did You Know?

    While the vast majority of white Ports are consumed within a few years of bottling as a light, chilled aperitif, Dalva's Dry White range is one of the few cases where white grapes are allowed to rest as long as the finest aged Tawny Ports – a style almost no other house practises to this extent.

  • Bottle of Dalva Dry White Port with pale yellow label
    Item no.: 22227865464-19920

    In Porto, people don't drink it out of duty - a cold afternoon simply calls for a glass of White Port and a slice of lemon.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva Dry White is a Portuguese dry white Port, bottled at 19%.

    Unlike the sweet, classic Port styles, the grapes are left to ferment longer before the wine is fortified with grape spirit - giving it a drier, more acidic profile that stands in marked contrast to a sweet Tawny or Ruby.

    The wine is made from white Douro grapes such as Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Donzelinho Branco and Gouveio, pressed without skin contact to preserve a pale, fresh character.

    Dalva is the Port brand of the house C. da Silva, founded in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1933, and over the years the house has built a particular reputation for its White Ports, from the young, dry style to the rare, vintage-dated Colheita White.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Citrus, mineral notes and hints of lemon zest, complemented by ripe peach and bitter almond.

    Palate

    Dry and lightly acidic, with walnut and a touch of vanilla, giving a round yet fresh impression.

    Finish

    Short to medium, dry finish with a faintly bitter almond note.

  • Bottle of Dalva Dry White Reserve with straw-yellow label
    Item no.: 222464-19922

    Straw-yellow in the glass and scented with ripe citrus, this Port offers a different, more restrained sweetness than most white Ports – a style sitting somewhere between the fresh and the aged.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva Dry White Reserve is a Portuguese Dry White Reserve Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19% – a semi-dry style, not a sweet dessert-style Port.

    The Reserve designation means the wine does not come from a single vintage like a Colheita, but is a carefully composed blend that has always spent at least six years in cask – a flexibility that lets Dalva maintain a consistent house style year after year, regardless of variation between individual harvests.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862. The house has made dry and semi-dry white Port one of its specialities, alongside its better-known Colheita Ports.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is lively, with ripe citrus fruit and floral tones, complemented by bitter almond, walnut and a touch of vanilla.

    Palate

    The palate is full-bodied and complex, with dried apricots and a silky, slightly fat structure.

    Did You Know?

    Unlike the house's age-indicated Dry White range (10, 20 and 40 years), the Reserve is not tied to a fixed age or single vintage – instead, its minimum six years in cask ensures the taste stays consistent, whatever year the wine is bottled.

  • Bottle of Dalva Moscatel Do Douro with golden label
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-195

    High above the Douro river, where the air is cooler than down by the water, grow the grapes that give this fortified wine its intense scent of flowers and dried raisins – a different side of Dalva's world than the classic Port.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva Moscatel Do Douro is a Portuguese fortified wine from the Douro Valley, made from the Moscatel grape and bottled at 17%.

    The grapes for this wine grow above 500 metres above sea level on the slopes around Alijó, where cooler nights give them a natural freshness and intense aroma. After harvest the must is fermented, and fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit – the same method used for Port, only with a different grape and a much lighter, more floral style.

    The wine first matures for three years in stainless steel, preserving its fresh, floral character, and then a further two years in oak vats, which add a light, rounded complexity.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862 and named after Clemente da Silva, who took over the firm in 1933.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is intense and floral, with lavender, lychee and dried raisins, plus a hint of spice.

    Palate

    The palate is fresh and aromatic, golden in character, with sweetness balanced by a citrus-like edge.

    Finish

    The finish is fresh and lightly menthol, closing on a citrus note that keeps the wine light despite its sweetness.

    Did You Know?

    Moscatel is one of the world's oldest aromatic grape varieties, and unlike the red grapes behind classic Port, this wine's perfume does not come from the skins but from the grape juice itself – which is why the aroma is so pronounced even before the wine reaches the glass.

    Item no.: 222464-19999

    Deep yellow in the glass and scented with honey and ripe apples, this is the classic, sweet white Port many Portuguese pour chilled on a warm summer evening – often mixed with ice cubes and tonic.

    Expert's Description

    Dalva White Porto is a Portuguese White Port from the Douro Valley, bottled at 19%.

    Unlike the house's dry Dry White range, this is the classic, sweet style of white Port, where fermentation is stopped early with grape spirit to preserve natural sweetness. The wine matures for around three years in large vats, giving it its characteristic deep yellow colour and a touch of honey and nuts.

    Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862 under the name Corrêa Ribeiro e Filhos. The house took on its current identity in 1933, when Clemente da Silva took over the firm after arriving from Brazil.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is rich, with preserved fruit, baked apples and a hint of dried flowers.

  • Bottle of Graham's Fine White Port with golden colour
    Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03--0024

    During the Portuguese summer, when the heat of the Douro Valley lingers well into the afternoon, many locals reach for a bottle of White Port — not for the afternoon coffee, but for ice cubes and tonic water.

    Expert's Description

    Graham's Fine White Port is a Portuguese White Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19%.

    White Port is made from white grapes, unlike the red grapes behind the Ruby and Tawny styles. After harvest, the grapes are pressed and the must ferments until the desired sweetness and strength are reached, at which point fermentation is halted by adding grape spirit, just as with the other Port styles.

    Fine White is the lightest and freshest expression in Graham's range, made to be drunk young and lightly chilled, ideally as a refreshing aperitif rather than a heavy after-dinner liqueur.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is marked by fresh white grapes and a touch of almond.

    Palate

    The palate is juicy and lively, with notes of citrus, mineral and a light creamy body.

  • Half bottle of Martha's Fine Dry White Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal
    Item no.: 059763-615-1120

    A full bottle of dry white Port can lose its freshness long before it is finished. That is why Martha's Fine Dry White Port also comes in this smaller 37.5 cl bottle, just enough for a couple of good aperitifs without any waste afterwards.

    Expert's Description

    Martha's Fine Dry White Port is a Portuguese Dry White Port from the Douro Valley, matured in oak casks and bottled at 20.5% in a 37.5 cl bottle.

    The wine is made from pale-skinned Douro grape varieties, pressed without skin contact to keep the colour light and the character clean, with the spirit added later so more sugar first ferments into alcohol. That produces the dry, less sweet style that sets it apart from a classic white Port.

    Martha's Wine & Spirits was founded in 1727, when the family settled as grape growers in the Baixo Corgo district of the Douro Valley. The half bottle is meant for those who want the same quality in a smaller portion.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Citrus peel and almond, with a hint of dried herbs.

    Palate

    Dry and crisp, with green apple and a touch of honey, carried by fresh acidity.

    Finish

    Item no.: 059763-615-1119

    In Porto, the dry white style is drunk cold, often over ice with a slice of lemon, a world away from the image of Port as a heavy after-dinner liqueur. Martha's Fine Dry White Port is the house's answer to the crisp, refreshing side of the Douro Valley.

    Expert's Description

    Martha's Fine Dry White Port is a Portuguese Dry White Port from the Douro Valley, matured in oak casks and bottled at 20.5%.

    The wine is made from pale-skinned Douro grape varieties, fermented without skin contact to keep the colour light and the character clean. Unlike sweeter white Ports, the spirit is added later in the process, allowing more of the natural grape sugar to ferment into alcohol first, which produces the dry, less sweet style.

    Martha's Wine & Spirits was founded in 1727, when the family settled as grape growers in Baixo Corgo, one of the oldest sub-regions of the Douro and known for its white grape plots close to the river, where the family still grows the varieties behind this Port today.

    After pressing, the wine rests for a period in oak casks, adding a touch of roundness and spice without stripping away its fresh fruit character.

    Unlike red Port, the white grapes for this style are pressed with no contact with the skins at all. It is a deliberate choice that keeps tannin and colour out of the must, and it is the main reason a dry white Port can taste almost like a regular white wine, just with a higher alcohol content.

    Item no.: 059763-615-1116

    White Port lives in the shadow of its red sibling, but in Baixo Corgo the Martha family has made it for generations. Fine White is the house's young, pale expression, made for drinking cold, ideally with tonic and plenty of ice.

    Expert's Description

    Martha's Fine White Port is a Portuguese White Port from the Douro Valley, matured in stainless steel and bottled at 19.5%.

    The wine is made exclusively from white grape varieties grown in the Douro and fermented briefly in stainless steel, which preserves its pale straw colour and fresh fruit. Unlike Tawny Port, which spends years maturing in wood, Fine White is made to be drunk young.

    Martha's Wine & Spirits traces its roots back to 1727, when the family settled as grape growers in Baixo Corgo. Fine White is the house's entry point into the white category, a Port with no age statement, built on fresh fruit rather than wood character.

    The style is delicate compared to the house's older Tawny range, but carries the same craftsmanship, minus the years spent in barrel.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Honey and ripe apple, with a hint of citrus peel.

    Palate

    Fresh and lightly sweet, with honeyed, orchard-fruit notes carried by a pleasant acidity.

  • Bottle of golden-orange 30 year old tawny port from Quinta da Pacheca
    Item no.: 22227865464-362767676888890

    Thirty years in the quiet of oak casks have given this tawny a depth that only time can build. Behind every glass lies a whole Douro landscape of schist, sun and patience.

    Expert's Description

    Pacheca 30 Year Old Tawny Port is a 30-year-old tawny Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

    The wine is a blend of several vintages that have rested for decades in 550-litre oak casks in the estate's cooler cellars. The slow, gradual oxidation through the wood shifts the colour from deep ruby to warm orange and amber, while drawing out sweetness, nuttiness and dried fruit in both aroma and flavour.

    Quinta da Pacheca is one of the most respected estates in the Douro Valley and among the first to bottle Port under its own name. The property is first mentioned in a document from April 1738 under the name 'Pacheca', after its then owner Mariana Pacheco Pereira. In 1903 Count José Freire de Serpa Leitão Pimentel took over the estate, and in 1916 he had the granite lagares built where grapes are still foot-trodden today.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The aroma offers balsamic tones and a hint of polished antique wood, alongside raisins, dried figs and a fine caramel sweetness that grows as the wine sits in the glass.

    Palate

    On the palate the wine is deep and layered, with toasted nuts, dried orange peel and spice, while the mid-palate delivers fig biscuit, dates, burnt caramel and a hint of Christmas cake.

    Finish

    The finish is long and dries out into a warm nutty note that lingers well after the last sip.

    Investment Potential

    As an age-stated 30-year-old tawny, this bottle sits among Quinta da Pacheca's rarer releases and is sought after by collectors of old tawny Ports. The long cask ageing and limited volumes make it a natural addition for anyone building a cellar beyond the everyday range.

    Did You Know?

    Over thirty years in cask, a tawny gradually loses its red colour in favour of orange and amber hues - meaning you can often guess a tawny's age simply by holding the glass up to the light.

  • Wooden box with three miniature port wine bottles from Quinta do Estanho
    Item no.: 222278643-55

    Three miniature tasting glasses - white, ruby and tawny - gathered in one box, letting you experience the full range of a seven-generation estate in one sitting.

    Expert's Description

    Quinta do Estanho Gift Box is a gift set with three different Port wines in 5 cl bottles from the Douro Valley in Portugal, with an alcohol content of 19.5%.

    The box brings together three classic styles from the estate: a fine white Port, a fresh ruby Port and a cask-matured tawny, allowing you to taste your way through the range from young, fruit-driven Port to the more mature, nutty style, all in one gift set.

    Quinta do Estanho can be traced back to 1757, when the estate's wines were included in the very first official demarcation of the Douro region under the Marquis of Pombal. The estate sits on the left bank of the River Pinhão at around 300 metres altitude and has been family-owned across seven generations. Today it is run by the descendants of Jaime Acácio Queiroz Cardoso, who combine traditional foot-treading in stone lagares with modern cellar practices.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The three styles range from the white Port's bright, citrus-like aroma, through the ruby's fresh dark berries, to the tawny's nutty and caramel notes.

    Palate

    The white offers a light, almost dry fruitiness, the ruby is full with dark berry fruit, while the tawny shows roundness with dried fruit and nuts from its cask ageing.

    Finish

    Common to all three is a clean, balanced finish that shows the estate's craftsmanship without becoming heavy in a single 5 cl measure.

    Did You Know?

    Quinta do Estanho is named after the Portuguese word for tin, a mineral once mined in the area - a detail that still ties the estate's name to the very ground the grapes grow in, rather than to an owning family, as most other quintas are named.

  • Bottle of Quinta do Noval Extra Dry White Port with yellow label
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19728043210

    Port doesn't always have to be dark and sweet. This golden, dry style is made for warm afternoons, ice cubes and a splash of tonic.

    Expert's Description

    Quinta do Noval Extra Dry White Port is a Portuguese white, dry Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak vats and bottled at 19.5%.

    The wine is made from white Douro grapes such as Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Rabigato and Códega, half of which get brief skin contact while the other half ferments without it, giving both aroma and freshness. It's then aged for around three years in oak vats before blending and bottling.

    White Port has existed since the 19th century but has enjoyed a revival in recent years as a fresh aperitif, often served with tonic and ice. Quinta do Noval's Extra Dry style is one of the driest in the category, setting it apart from the sweeter white Ports many people know.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is floral and fruity, with citrus, almond and a light vanilla note.

    Palate

    The palate is crisp and dry, with notes of pear, white peach and a fine, refreshing acidity.

    Finish

    The finish is clean and short, with a final touch of almond.
