“A delicious 10-year-old white port with notes of hazelnut, honey, and stone fruit...”

"The Quinta da Gaivosa 10-Year-Old White Port is a blend of grape varieties. This is the new 2016 vintage (batch no. LW10.03) with 87 grams of residual sugar per liter. In this new version, it remains true to itself, refined and elegant. With slightly darker hues upon opening and a hint of brandy, it ultimately offers a lovely finish. It is rather dry, but with a touch of sweetness that makes it pleasant and easy to drink, despite a certain liveliness on the finish. The alcohol is noticeable at times, but this is a refined 10-year-old port with notes of richness. It features a “bar top” style cork. 2016–2035” (Robert Parker 2016)
