Description
Crafted in the sun-drenched terraces of Portugal’s Douro Valley, Monge White Port is a luminous expression of indigenous Portuguese grapes such as Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, and Codega. After a gentle pressing, the must is partially fermented and then fortified with grape spirit, locking in natural sweetness and fragrant aromatics. The wine is aged in neutral oak casks, allowing bright orchard-fruit character to shine while adding subtle notes of toasted almond and vanilla.
In the glass, this 750mL bottle pours a pale golden hue. Aromas of honeyed pear, dried apricot, orange blossom, and a whisper of sea spray rise from the rim. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, balancing vibrant acidity with creamy layers of candied citrus, white peach, and caramelized nuts. A faint saline edge keeps the finish clean, inviting another chilled sip.
Versatile and crowd-pleasing, Monge White Port can be served neat at cellar temperature, poured over ice with a mint sprig for a refreshing aperitif, or mixed with tonic for the classic Portuguese “Portonic.” Pair it with soft goat cheese, roasted almonds, sushi, or a slice of apple tart.
