Taylors Fine White Port – A Smooth and Elegant White Port
A Blend of the Finest White Grapes
Taylors Fine White Port is crafted from premium white grape varieties grown in the Upper Douro Valley. This blend includes Arinto, Boal (Semillon), Codega, Esgana Cão, Folgasão, Gouveio, Viosinho, and Rabigato. These grapes contribute to the wine’s distinctive flavor, offering a perfect balance of fruitiness and smoothness.
Expert Aging for a Refined Character
After fermentation, the wine matures in oak vats for about three years. This process enhances its mellowness and depth, developing a rich and full-bodied profile. The careful blending of these aged wines results in a smooth, traditional white port with a velvety texture and elegant complexity.
