10 Year Old White Port
Aged White Port is one of Quevedo’s pride. This White Port was crafted by blending a selection of our cellar’s best aged Ports averaging 10 years. These Ports aged in old neutral wood casks, each with its own personality. The result: A smooth, rich, complex, multi-layered and very balanced 10-Year-old White.
TASTING NOTES
Colour
Golden amber
AROMA
Dried and candied fruits like mango and apricot, plums, raisins, quince.
PALATE
Lovely balance between the fruits, sweetness and acidity. The wine develops on layers of flavours between the candied and dried fruits, the acidity combines with some bitter notes due to the slow oxidation in cask to bring nerve to the wine before leaving us on a beautiful complex finish lingering on spicy notes.
