Quinta de La Rosa Dry Aperitif White Port NV

Description

Traditional white port varieties, mainly Viosinho, Gouveia, Rabigato and Malvasia Fina.The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin.A first class aperitif wine, a beautiful amber/honey colour, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, but at the same time has a long relatively dry finish.

This Port should be served slightly chilled and is also a good compliment to rich pates and fois  gras.  Good  to  drink  cold  as  an  aperitif  or  with  a  mixer.  White  Port  and tonic  is  a particular favourite on the terrace at La Rosa in the summer whilst nibbling on some roasted  almonds.  Make it like a gin and tonic together with ice and a slice of lemon.

Quinta de La Rosa

Quinta de la Rosa was purchased in 1906 as a christening present for Claire Bergqvist (the current owner’s, Sophia, grandmother). The estate sold the grapes they grew to winemakers. Sophia and her father Tim relaunched Quinta de la Rosa in 1988 and started making port under their own label and soon after they produced their first wine. With the help of winemaker David Baverstock, La Rosa became one of the pioneers in producing Douro table wine using indigenous port grapes.

Douro Valley

The Douro Valley, located in northern Portugal, is a historic and renowned wine region known for its exceptional Port and table wines. Recognised as one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world, it was officially regulated in 1756. The valley's dramatic landscape, characterised by steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River, creates a unique terroir that is ideal for viticulture.
The area is particularly famous for its Port wines, which range from rich and robust Vintage Ports to smooth and sweet Tawny Ports, crafted from indigenous grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. It also produces high-quality red and white table wines, with rich, full-bodied reds and aromatic whites from local varieties such as Touriga Franca and Viosinho. The combination of historical winemaking traditions and modern practices makes the Douro Valley a compelling and storied wine region.
